Company snapshot
The iShares iBonds Dec 2025 Term Treasury ETF offers investors a targeted approach to U.S. Treasury investing by holding a non-diversified portfolio of government bonds maturing in 2025. The fund’s defined maturity structure provides transparency and predictability, appealing to those seeking a specific maturity horizon and regular income distributions.
Its portfolio is composed primarily of U.S. Treasury bonds, with at least 90% of assets in these securities, providing exposure to short-duration government debt. As such, the ETF is positioned as a tool for managing interest rate risk and aligning fixed income allocations with future cash flow needs.
Foolish take
Increasing exposure to short-term treasury bonds can be a defensive move. Bonds that are close to their maturity date act as a relatively low-risk way to generate a fixed income. However, Belpointe Asset Management hasn't significantly upped its holdings; it just shifted the balance of its short-term bond ETFs.
In Q3 2025, it reduced its position in State Street's SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (NYSEMKT:BIL) by around $22 million, close to what it spent on the IBTF shares. Throw in its holdings in the iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF (NYSEMKT:SGOV), and Belpointe's short-term bonds make up about 3.5% of its AUM in both quarters.
Belpointe, which was named one of Forbes' top RIA Firms for 2024, holds almost 1,000 assets in its extremely diversified portfolio. A large proportion of them are U.S. equities or ETFs that contain them. The firm also holds international investments, fixed-income securities, and some real estate investment trusts (REITs).
