iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF

The middle of the US Treasury curve is IEF's territory, holding government notes with seven to ten years left until they mature. BlackRock's iShares arm runs it against the ICE US Treasury 7-10 Year Bond Index, a straightforward, market-weighted basket of intermediate government debt. That maturity band carries meaningful sensitivity to interest rates, so the fund rallies when yields fall and drops when they rise, more than a short-term fund but less than a long bond. Because the debt is backed by the US government, credit risk is effectively nil and the exposure is almost purely to rates. Investors use it to add duration, to hedge stock portfolios since Treasuries often rise in a flight to safety, and to express a view on the direction of interest rates. It has traded since 2002.
