The iShares 0-5 Year Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (SLQD) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of an underlying index composed of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate debt with maturities of five years or less. The fund is required to invest at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of that index and at least 90% of its assets in fixed income securities matching the types included in the index. As part of the broader iShares fund family offered by BlackRock, the ETF provides investors with diversified, short-duration exposure to U.S. corporate bond issuers, a category that typically includes companies rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher by major credit rating agencies. Short-term investment-grade corporate bond funds like SLQD are commonly used by investors seeking income with lower interest-rate sensitivity than longer-duration bond funds.
