ETF · Currency in USD · Last updated Jun 5, 2026

The iShares Core 10+ Year USD Bond ETF seeks to track an index composed of U.S. dollar-denominated bonds that are rated either investment grade or high-yield with remaining maturities greater than ten years.

ILTB's Sharpe Ratio of 0.78 indicates that for each unit of volatility, it generates 0.78 units of excess return above the risk-free rate. The ratio is calculated using historical daily returns over the past 12 months (as of Jun 5, 2026).

Sharpe uses total volatility (standard deviation) which includes both upside and downside price movements, making it useful for comparing risk-adjusted returns across different assets.
