BlackRock has introduced the iShares $ Intermediate Credit Bond UCITS ETF on the London Stock Exchange, targeting investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated corporate and government-related bonds with maturities between one and ten years. The ETF tracks a market capitalization-weighted index, aiming to offer diversified exposure to the U.S. credit market.1

Recent filings reveal that institutional investors have been net sellers of the iShares Government/Credit Bond ETF (GBF) over the past year, with outflows totaling $72.7 million compared to $21.4 million in inflows. Despite this, 77 institutions purchased shares, while 54 sold, indicating ongoing but cautious interest in the fund.2

Short-term U.S. government bond funds have attracted $18.1 billion in inflows so far this month, the highest in over two years. Investors are seeking safer assets as concerns over tariffs and recession risks drive sell-offs in other fund categories, while long-term bonds have declined sharply.3
