US Treasury 3 Month Bill ETF (TBIL) is an exchange-traded fund focused on providing exposure to short-term U.S. Treasury Bills. The ETF is managed by F/m Investments and trades under the ticker TBIL on NYSE Arca.
Classified as a fixed income ETF with a focus on short-term government securities, TBIL follows a passive management strategy. The fund seeks to reflect the performance of the short-maturity U.S. Treasury Bills segment through direct allocation to eligible securities.

TBIL does not track a widely disseminated traditional index. Its reference is a portfolio of U.S. Treasury Bills issued by the federal government.
The securities have short maturities and high credit quality. Weighting may consider factors such as maturity and market value, with periodic reviews to maintain alignment with the defined strategy.
