 The
iShares iBonds Dec 2024 Term Corporate ETF (IBDP) is an
exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to provide targeted exposure to
investment-grade corporate bonds that mature in December 2024.
As of September 2021, IBDP had a net asset value of approximately $1.3
billion and an expense ratio of 0.10%. The ETF holds a diversified
portfolio of investment-grade corporate bonds and primarily focuses on
sectors such as financials, industrials, and utilities.
IBDP
can be an attractive option for investors seeking a fixed-income
investment with a relatively short maturity date. The ETF aims to
provide investors with the benefits of individual bonds, such as
predictable income streams and a defined maturity date, while also
offering the advantages of an ETF, such as intraday trading and
diversification.
One potential benefit of IBDP is that it
provides investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of
investment-grade corporate bonds with a defined maturity date, which
can help to mitigate interest rate risk. However, like all bond funds,
IBDP carries some risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk,
and market risk.
Investors should carefully consider their
investment objectives, risk tolerance, and consult with a financial
professional before making any investment decisions.
