About iShares Trust - iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (SGOV)

The iShares Trust - iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (SGOV) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investors with exposure to short-term U.S. Treasury bonds. The fund primarily invests in Treasury bonds with maturities of three months or less, making it an attractive option for investors looking for a low-risk investment with minimal interest rate risk. SGOV aims to track the performance of the ICE U.S. Treasury 0-3 Month Bond Index, which is designed to measure the performance of short-term U.S. Treasury bills.

With its focus on short-term Treasury bonds, SGOV offers investors a way to potentially earn a modest return while preserving capital. The fund's short duration helps to mitigate interest rate risk, as shorter-term bonds are generally less sensitive to changes in interest rates compared to longer-term bonds. This can be particularly appealing during periods of rising interest rates, as it may allow investors to avoid a significant decrease in the value of their investment.
