iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF)
iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEF) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that provides investors with exposure to the performance of intermediate-term U.S. Treasury bonds. The ETF tracks the investment results of the Barclays Capital U.S. 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Index, which consists of U.S. Treasury bonds with maturities between 7 and 10 years. The 7-10 year maturity range provides investors with a balance of yield and capital preservation, as bonds with longer maturities typically offer higher yields but are also more sensitive to changes in interest rates.
