iShares $ Treasury Bond 1-3yr UCITS ETF USD (Dist)

(IUSU)

The investment objective of this Fund is to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the return of the ICE U.S. Treasury 1-3 Year Bond Index. In order to achieve this investment objective, the investment policy of the Fund is to invest in a portfolio of fixed income securities that as far as possible and practicable consist of the component securities of the ICE U.S. Treasury 1-3 Year Bond Index, this Fund’s Benchmark Index. The Fund intends to use optimisation techniques in order to achieve a similar return to the Benchmark Index and it is therefore not expected that the Fund will hold each and every underlying constituent of the Benchmark Index at all times or hold them in the same proportion as their weightings in the Benchmark Index.
