Global X Short-Term Treasury Ladder ETF (SLDR)

Global X Short-Term Treasury Ladder ETF (SLDR) is a passively managed fund from Global X that tracks an index built as a ladder of short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The portfolio spreads its holdings across a series of near-dated maturities so that bonds roll off on a regular schedule and the proceeds are reinvested at the long end of the ladder.

The fund invests only in obligations of the U.S. government, giving it exposure to the front end of the Treasury yield curve with limited interest-rate sensitivity. The laddered design is meant to offer a simple, rules-based way to hold short-maturity Treasuries in a single exchange-traded share.
