Our read on LDRT
BA bond ladder in one ticker. LDRT holds a stack of iShares iBonds Treasury funds maturing inside six years, and the index keeps the rungs in place so you are not the one rolling them.
The fund tracks an index of iShares iBonds Treasury ETFs with maturities below six years, providing exposure to a ladder of U.S. Treasury bonds.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.07% a year, under the 0.12% median for its Treasury peer group.
- One ticket covers the whole ladder: iShares iBonds Treasury funds with maturities below six years, maintained by the index rather than by you.ishares.com
- Treasury exposure only, no corporate credit riding along, and it pays on a monthly cadence.
Worth knowing
- A fund of funds: you own the Treasury ETFs, not the bonds, and the ladder keeps rolling instead of winding down to a maturity date.ishares.com
- Launched in 2024, so the record is short next to Treasury funds that have been through several rate cycles.
- Moderately traded and mid-sized beside the aisle's heavyweights like VGIT, so spreads can run wider.
