Our read on LLDR
CA bond ladder for the long end of the curve. LLDR holds roughly 100 Treasuries maturing 10 to 30 years out and rolls the rungs forward each year, so you get ladder mechanics in one ticker instead of a spreadsheet.
The fund seeks to provide returns generally corresponding to the price and yield performance of the FTSE US Treasury 10-30 Years Laddered Bond Index before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- Ladder mechanics, no maintenance: maturities spread across the 10 to 30 year range and rolled annually, rather than one lump of long bonds.globalxetfs.comaaii.com
- 0.12% expense ratio, right at the median for Treasury ETFs in its peer group.
- Treasuries only, no corporate or credit sleeve, and it pays monthly.globalxetfs.com
Worth knowing
- Long duration by design. Price swings when yields move are far bigger than in short or intermediate Treasury funds.globalxetfs.com
- Small and thinly traded, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the category giants.
- Broad Treasury exposure comes cheaper elsewhere: VGIT and VTG charge 0.03%, though at different maturity bands.
