Global X Zero Coupon Bond 2033 ETF
Our read on ZCBE
Zero-coupon Treasury STRIPS with a 2033 stamp on them: no coupons to reinvest, just discount-priced paper that repays par at maturity, then the fund winds up around November 30, 2033. Seven basis points for the wrapper.
The fund seeks to track the FTSE Zero Coupon U.S. Treasury STRIPS 2033 Maturity Index before fees and expenses. It primarily invests in zero-coupon Treasury STRIPS with scheduled maturities in 2033 and terminates around November 30, 2033.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.07%, below the 0.10% median for target-maturity bond funds and level with the cheapest Treasury rungs in the group (IBTJ).
- No coupons, no reinvestment guesswork. STRIPS are bought at a discount and repay par at maturity, so less cash goes out up front per dollar of face value.prnewswire.comglobalxetfs.com
- Government paper, not corporate: it tracks an FTSE index of US Treasury STRIPS maturing in 2033, while most rungs in this cohort hold company debt (IBDU, BSCT).
- One of six STRIPS funds launched together covering 2030 through 2035, so a single maturity year or a full ladder comes from one shelf.prnewswire.com
Worth knowing
- The entire payoff sits at the end, so the price reacts more to interest-rate moves than a coupon-paying Treasury fund of the same maturity.assets.globalxetfs.comprnewswire.com
- It is a term fund: it terminates on or about November 30, 2033 and distributes remaining net assets under a plan of liquidation. Nothing rolls into a new maturity.assets.globalxetfs.com
- A 2026 launch that trades thinly, and the index equal-weights just four 2033 maturity dates. Light volume can mean wider bid-ask spreads.assets.globalxetfs.com
