iShares 0-5 Year Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (NASDAQ:SLQD) seeks to track the iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade 0-5 Index. SLQD closed at USD 49.67 on 4 November 2026. Net assets were approximately USD 2.44 billion on 5 November 2026. The fund’s investment universe and the weight of its individual positions define the exposure available through its shares.

Investment mandate and underlying exposure

The fund targets short-term U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds through a zero-to-five-year index. Its approach focuses on a Maturity segment within corporate fixed income. This distinguishes the portfolio from a single target-year bond fund and from funds specialising in longer maturity debt.

The disclosed portfolio includes communications, banking and healthcare obligations, alongside a Money Market position. These are individual Debt securities with issuer-specific terms. Broad security coverage can reduce dependence on one issue, although common corporate Credit conditions can still influence many holdings together.

Holdings weights and portfolio structure

As of 4 November 2026, Blk Csh Fnd Treasury Sl Agency represented 1.56%; T-Mobile Usa Inc represented 0.22%; Paramount Skydance Corp 144A represented 0.21%; Space Exploration Technologies Cor 144A represented 0.21%; Bank Of America Corp represented 0.19%; Abbvie Inc represented 0.17%.

The portfolio reported an effective duration of 2.15 yrs as of 4 November 2026. Duration measures sensitivity to Interest Rate changes; it is different from the date on which an individual bond matures. Holdings are individual securities or other portfolio positions. Several securities can relate to the same issuer, so the reported holdings count should not be read as an equivalent number of independent borrowers.

Fund costs distributions and risks

The listed expense ratio is 0.06%, and distributions are scheduled monthly. Fund distributions can vary with portfolio income and other relevant cash flows. The expense ratio describes a fund-level cost; trading shares can also involve Transaction Costs and a difference between the prices available to buyers and sellers.

Shorter maturity exposure can limit interest rate sensitivity relative to longer maturity portfolios, but it does not remove price risk. Changes in credit spreads, issuer finances and trading Liquidity can affect values. Coupon payments and fund distributions should not be interpreted as guarantees against Capital losses.

Key Insights

SLQD provides a defined exposure through its benchmark mandate. The disclosed portfolio includes communications, banking and healthcare obligations, alongside a money market position. The 3,117 reported holdings, their individual weights and the 0.06% expense ratio are relevant to interpreting the portfolio. The mandate and underlying instruments determine which economic risks remain shared across otherwise separate positions.
