Defined-maturity bond ETFs like iShares iBonds Dec 2026 (IBDR), Invesco BulletShares 2028 (BSCS), and iShares iBonds Dec 2031 Treasury (IBTL) provide investors a way to lock in yields close to 5% by holding bonds that mature on fixed dates. Unlike traditional bond ETFs, these funds return principal at maturity, reducing uncertainty about future interest rates. IBDR offers a near-term maturity in 2026 with a 4.09% yield, BSCS extends to 2028 with yields near 5% but carries credit risk, and IBTL matures in 2031 focusing on Treasury bonds with no credit risk and tax advantages. Together, they allow building a bond ladder that returns cash at intervals through the decade, appealing amid current high Treasury yields and Federal Funds rates.
