What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds.

Strategy, summarised

The fund uses representative sampling to track the iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index, holding a representative sample of the index's approximately 3,000 investment-grade corporate bonds rather than all constituents. Because the fund may not hold all index components, its returns may diverge from the index. The fund will invest at least 80% of assets in index securities and up to 10% in derivatives or non-index fixed income securities to aid tracking.

What the fund is made of

Percentages are of fund net assets. Rounding, liabilities and short positions can make totals differ from 100%.

106.29%
of net assets
Bonds98.11%
Cash & short-term8.18%

These positions come to 106.29% of the fund's net assets. This counts only what the fund reported holding — the holdings disclosure covers assets, not liabilities such as borrowings — so it is not expected to reconcile to 100%.

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.

8.09 yr
approx. move per 100bp
8.30 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.

≈ -16.5%
of value
Credit spreads51%
Interest rates49%

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.
