iShares Trust - iShares 5-10 Year Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF Company profile
The index measures the performance of investment-grade corporate bonds of both U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are U.S. dollar-denominated and publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market and have a remaining maturity of greater than or equal to five years and less than ten years. The iShares Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond ETF (IGIB) offers exposure to investment grade corporate bonds that fall in the middle of the maturity spectrum, thereby delivering a moderate amount of both interest-rate and credit risk. IGIB might be useful for investors looking to enhance fixed income returns but hesitant to take on longer duration, a measure of bonds’ price sensitivity to interest rate changes. IGIB, like all of iShares Core series, is priced competitively with ultra-low-cost rivals like the SPDR Portfolio Intermediate Term Corporate Bond ETF (SPIB) or the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCIT), though IGIB is significantly behind VCIT in assets.
