Description: QLTA Aaa - Rated Corporate Bond January 16, 2026
The iShares Aaa-A Rated Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE ARCA: QLTA) seeks to track a Bloomberg-defined subset of the U.S. corporate bond market that is limited to fixed-rate, dollar-denominated, taxable bonds rated Aaa through A. To achieve this, the fund commits at least 80 % of its assets to the index’s component securities and at least 90 % to fixed-income securities that BFA judges will best replicate index performance.
Key metrics (as of the most recent quarterly report) show an average weighted-average maturity of roughly 7 years, a portfolio duration near 5.5, and a current yield of about 4.2 %, reflecting the relatively low-credit-risk profile of the underlying securities. The ETF’s expense ratio stands at 0.15 %, which is competitive within the investment-grade corporate bond space.
Economic drivers that materially affect QLTA’s performance include the Federal Reserve’s policy stance (interest-rate outlook and quantitative tightening) and corporate credit health, which is sensitive to GDP growth and corporate earnings trends. A tightening cycle typically depresses bond prices, while a stable or easing environment can support the fund’s total return.
