Our read on MLDR
BOne ticker instead of a homemade bond ladder. MLDR follows an index that spreads US Treasuries across maturity rungs from 3 to 10 years and rolls them forward as they age. Pays monthly, costs 0.12% a year.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the FTSE US Treasury 3-10 Years Laddered Bond Index.
Why people hold it
- At 0.12% a year, it undercuts the median intermediate Treasury fund in its group (0.15%).
- The laddered index keeps maturities spread across the 3-to-10-year range, so bonds roll off and get reinvested on a rolling schedule rather than all at once.globalxetfs.com
- US government paper only, no corporate credit, roughly 70 positions, and cash goes out monthly. What's on the tin is what's in the fund.globalxetfs.com
Worth knowing
- Plain market-weighted rivals are cheaper: SPTI and SCHR both run 0.03%. The ladder construction is what the extra buys.
- A small, thinly traded fund, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the category's giants. Order size and order type matter more here.
- Launched in 2024, so there's not yet a long record to judge it across a full rate cycle.
