The mean remaining term to maturity of the underlying bonds in a portfolio.

A measure of the potential responsiveness of an inflation-linked bond or portfolio price to small parallel shifts in real interest rates (as opposed to nominal interest rates).

Dist (%)

Effective Duration, Real Yield Duration, Avg. Yield to Maturity, and Avg. Real Yield to Maturity as of previous month end.
The 30-Day SEC Yield for the iShares Barclays TIPS Bond Fund, the iShares Barclays 0-5 Year TIPS Bond Fund, the iShares Global Inflation-Linked Bond Fund and the iShares International Inflation-Linked Bond Fund is adjusted daily based on changes in the rate of inflation, as provided by the US Treasury schedule that reflects how the monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) is accrued daily. An exceptionally high 30-Day SEC yield may be attributable to a rise in the inflation rate, which might not be repeated.
