Our read on ILTB

ETF.net Research

In short

ATake the whole U.S. bond market and keep only the long end. ILTB tracks a Bloomberg index of dollar bonds maturing in 10+ years, investment grade and high yield alike, for six basis points.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track an index of U.S.-dollar-denominated investment-grade and high-yield bonds with remaining maturities above ten years.

Why people hold it

  • Costs 0.06% a year, a fraction of the typical fund in its broad-bond peer group, where the median is 0.36%.
  • One ticker for the long maturity slice of the U.S. bond market: Treasuries, corporates and high yield, all 10+ years, via the Bloomberg U.S. Universal 10+ Year Index.
  • Pays monthly and has been running since 2009, through several full rate cycles.
  • Broad holdings and low fees put it in the top quartile of its 187-fund bond cohort on our review.

Worth knowing

  • Long bonds only means outsized sensitivity to interest rates. Expect much bigger price swings than an aggregate fund like BND or SPAB.
  • The index reaches past investment grade into high yield, so credit risk rides along with the duration.
  • Moderately traded rather than a volume giant. Limit orders are the sane default.
