About this ETF
This ETF is designed to mirror the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Long Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index. It achieves this through a passive investment approach, employing index sampling rather than full replication. The fund offers broad, diversified access to the U.S. bond market, concentrating on long-term, investment-grade debt instruments. A key benefit for investors is the potential for substantial current income, thanks to its focus on securities with high creditworthiness.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
