About this ETF
This ETF aims to closely match the investment results of the Bloomberg CAD Short Treasury 1-12m Float Adjusted Index, prior to accounting for fees and operating costs. It employs a passive strategy that involves sampling the index, focusing its investments on the most creditworthy Canadian federal government bonds that mature within a year. This approach is designed to help investors decrease the interest rate sensitivity of their holdings and mitigate overall market fluctuations.
