The iShares iBonds Dec 2032 Term Treasury ETF (IBTM) is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide exposure to U.S. Treasury securities maturing in 2032. The ETF is managed by BlackRock through its iShares platform and trades under the ticker IBTM on the Nasdaq.

Classified as a target maturity fixed-income ETF, the fund invests in U.S. Treasury securities scheduled to mature in 2032. Its strategy combines features of traditional ETFs and individual bonds, allowing investors to gain diversified Treasury exposure with a defined maturity date.

The ETF follows a passive management approach and seeks to replicate the performance of the ICE 2032 Maturity U.S. Treasury Index, a benchmark composed of U.S. Treasury securities maturing in 2032.

Diversification and sector exposure

IBTM provides exposure primarily associated with:

• U.S. Treasury securities.

• Fixed income.

• Sovereign debt.

• 2032 maturity bonds.

• High-credit-quality assets.

• Duration management.

• U.S. Treasury market.

• U.S. dollar.

The portfolio consists of multiple U.S. Treasury securities maturing in 2032, providing diversified exposure across government issues sharing the same target maturity. The ETF's performance reflects both changes in interest rates and the gradual decline in portfolio duration as the securities approach maturity.

Structure and costs

IBTM shares trade on the secondary market on the NASDAQ during regular trading hours. Share creation and redemption occur through authorized participants, a mechanism intended to help align the ETF's market price with its net asset value (NAV).

The fund charges a management fee as outlined in its prospectus and does not apply a performance fee. Interest income generated by the underlying Treasury securities may be distributed periodically to shareholders according to the fund's distribution policy.
