(IBIC) iShares Trust - Ratings and Ratios

The fund tracks an index composed of U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) with maturities between January 1, 2026, and October 15, 2026. These securities are designed to provide protection against inflation by adjusting their principal value based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. The ETF is structured as a target maturity fund, meaning it will hold securities until they reach their maturity dates, at which point the fund will likely liquidate or transition to a new set of securities. The fund is required to invest at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the underlying index, ensuring a high level of exposure to the targeted TIPS.

IBIC currently holds $36.11 million in assets under management (AUM), with an average trading volume of 13,311 shares over the past 20 days. The funds last price was $25.85, with short-term and long-term moving averages indicating stability: SMA 20 at $25.75, SMA 50 at $25.61, and SMA 200 at $25.18. The Average True Range (ATR) of 0.03 reflects low volatility, suggesting consistent price movement. These metrics position IBIC as a low-risk investment vehicle for exposure to short-term TIPS.
