About iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY)

The iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF (SHY) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. Treasury bonds with remaining maturities between one and three years. As an ETF, SHY offers investors a convenient and cost-effective way to gain exposure to short-term Treasury bonds.

With a focus on Treasury bonds, SHY provides investors with a relatively low-risk investment option. Treasury bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, making them one of the safest investment instruments available. The one to three-year maturity range targeted by SHY also helps mitigate interest rate risk, as shorter-term bonds are less sensitive to changes in interest rates compared to longer-term bonds.
