9. What are Fixed Income ETFs?

transparent exposure to the different fixed income asset classes
Exchange Traded Designed to Track a Fixed Income
Index
• Funds that are listed in an exchange and • Managed to track an index and provide
traded like equities broad or narrow exposure to the different
segments of the fixed income market
• Provide exposure to multiple bonds
through a single trade • Optimized to efficiently replicate large
index portfolios with less instruments in
• Potential to reduce capital gains through order to minimize transaction costs
the ETF creation / redemption process
• Generally make monthly distributions to
• 2 sources of liquidity: ETF liquidity and shareholders from the income generated
underlying bond liquidity by the underlying bonds in the ETF
• Provide price discovery of usually OTC,
difficult to price assets
Low cost, efficient way of accessing the fixed income market

10. Fixed Income ETFs: benefits
Why should I invest in fixed income ETFs?
• Fixed Income ETFs offer transparency as underlying securities are available daily. All of the underlying
Transparency holdings are available daily on iShares.com
• Given the recent volatility and liquidity issues in the bonds markets, it is more important than ever to have
full transparency into portfolios
• Fixed income ETFs offer intraday liquity, while most bonds trade over-the-counter.
Liquidity • Direct bond trading is often inaccesible due to large trading minimums.
• Fixed income ETFs provide diversification across bonds with just one trade.
Diversification • ETFs offer investors the posibility to create more diversified portfolios only with ETFs: government,
aggregate, corporate, covered, emerging, high yield, inflation, mortgage bonds.
Flexibility • Fixed income ETFs provide the flexibility to trade throughout the day with continuous price.
• Fixed income ETFs offer a fix duration while single bond duration is continually decreasing as time to the
Duration maturity decreases.
• Transaction costs in the bond market can be significant, and often difficult to identify. iShares ETFs offer
clarity in terms of the costs.
Cost • iShares fixed income ETFs tend to have lower management fees than comparable mutual funds.

11. Comparing Fixed Income and Equity markets
Equities and ETFs are exchange traded
• Central execution
• Two-sided markets supported by a market maker
• Observable bid/offer spreads
• Direct measurement of transaction costs
The fixed income market is an Over The Counter (OTC) market
• Transactions are done directly between participants
• No exchange to ensure best execution
• Lack of transparency into what transaction costs are paid
• Potential for large disparities in transaction costs paid by investors
iShares ETFs bring the benefits of trading in an exchange to fixed income investors

19. Understanding Fixed Income ETF Trading Behavior
There are four key drivers of premiums/discounts in fixed Income ETFs:
NAV
•Underlying bonds marked to the Bid side of OTC bond market for NAV
•ETF trades at market clearing price
ETF Supply & Demand
•Balance of exchange flows drive where ETF trades relative to underlying bond market
•Sale pressure: ETF moves closer to bid side of bond market (NAV)
•Buy pressure: ETF moves closer to offer side of bond market (potential share creation)
Cost of Share Creation
•If demand > exchange liquidity, new shares can be created
•Cost of creation ≈ underlying bond market bid/offer spread
•ETF price incorporates the marginal cost of share creation
Fixed Income Market Volatility & Liquidity
•NAV = average bid of the underlying bonds in the portfolio; does not contemplate a portfolio execution. This is an Indicative price
•In volatile/illiquid markets the difference between the average bond price and a portfolio execution may be large: Average Price ≠Price of
the Average Bond
•This leads to premiums or discounts outside of average underlying market bid/offer spread
Although market makers will generally take advantage of differences between the NAV and the trading price of shares of ETFs through arbitrage
opportunities, there is no guarantee that they will do so.

(Liquidity Layer)
• Arbitrage activity anchors ETF pricing to underlying value
• If the ETF price moves too far above offer side of underlying portfolio, market participants can short the ETF and purchase the
underlying bonds
• If the ETF price moves too far below the bid side of underlying portfolio, market participants can purchase the ETF and short the
underlying bonds
Although market makers will generally take advantage of differences between the NAV and the trading price of shares of ETFs through arbitrage
opportunities, there is no guarantee that they will do so.
