About this ETF
This ETF aims to provide a consistent stream of income to investors. It achieves this mainly by allocating its capital to various other iShares exchange-traded funds, which themselves invest broadly across the fixed-income market. These underlying funds focus on a diverse array of debt instruments, including government bonds, corporate obligations, higher-yielding debt, and securities from emerging markets, among other types of fixed-income assets.
