With a forward yield of 4.11%—notably higher than Treasuries or equities—the ETF continues to attract investors seeking steady returns while managing interest rate risk.12

Recent data shows IGSB delivered a 6.52% total return over the past year, outpacing many competitors. The ETF’s expense ratio remains at a low 0.04%, and its portfolio is diversified across major U.S. banks and corporations. This combination of strong returns and minimal fees bolsters its role in conservative portfolios.34

As the Federal Reserve holds off on further rate hikes, short-duration investment-grade corporate bond ETFs like IGSB are gaining traction. The fund’s focus on 1–5 year maturities reduces sensitivity to rate shifts, offering a balance between yield and risk for investors wary of market volatility.12
