GOVT
Per iShares, the investment objective of the iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. Treasury bonds. It is a simple fund that holds exposure to U.S. Treasuries ranging from 1-30 year maturities at a low cost of 0.05% expense ratio. Bond ETFs can come in a variety of flavors. Some are positioned to hold short-term durations acting like cash or cash equivalent, while others hold longer term 20–30 notes that offer more return for more risk. Others focus solely on US bonds, while others focus on global bond markets. GOVT finds itself somewhere in the middle by holding only US bonds, but diversified throughout all different maturity ranges. It’s sort of like the VTI of the bond market.
I believe GOVT offers a great mechanism to park money in for the long run to help smoothen out risk-adjusted returns.
