What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The iShares California Muni Bond ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of investment-grade municipal bonds issued in the State of California.

Strategy, summarised

The fund tracks the ICE AMT-Free California Municipal Index using representative sampling, holding a sample of investment-grade municipal bonds issued by California and its political subdivisions; the sample is selected to match the index's characteristics including duration, credit quality, and yield. Because the fund may not hold all index constituents, its returns may diverge from the index. The fund invests at least 80% of assets in index securities and may use up to 10% in derivatives or non-index fixed income securities to track the index.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

More of this fund’s sensitivity sits in credit spreads than in interest rates — a rate rally that comes with a credit selloff works against it.

6.10 yr
approx. move per 100bp
6.18 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

≈ -12.5%
of value
Credit spreads50%
Interest rates50%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
