IBHE: The Right Choice When It Comes To Term Funds, 2025 Maturity

iShares iBonds 2025 Term High Yield and Income ETF has a set termination date of December 2025, offering clear visibility into its maturity timeline and risk profile. The fund has a short duration of 0.57 years, which means it is less sensitive to interest rate and credit risk. This duration will continue to decrease as bonds mature. IBHE offers a 5.93% 30-day SEC yield and a 6.1% average yield to maturity, making it appealing for investors seeking higher returns compared to traditional money market funds.

IBHE: A Bond Ladder Rung To Be Redeemed In 2025

iShares iBonds 2025 Term High Yield and Income ETF has an attractive 7% yield, but it is not a long-term investment. It is a bond ladder rung. Bond ladder ETFs are designed to be held until redemption to limit the risk of price gyration. However, IBHE volatility has been very low for 4 years. If you think interest rates will go down, bond ladders can lock in high rates in your portfolio for a few more years.
