iShares Core Total USD Bond Market ETF Description

The investment seeks to track the investment results of the Barclays U.S. Universal Index.

The fund generally invests at least 80% of its assets in the securities of the underlying index. The fund may at times invest up to 20% of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds advised by BFA or its affiliates, as well as in securities not included in the index, but which BFA believes will help the fund track the index.
