The iShares iBonds Dec 2046 Term Treasury ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. Treasury bonds maturing in 2046. The Fund seeks to meet its investment objective generally by investing in individual securities which satisfy the criteria of the ICE 2046 Maturity US Treasury Index (the "Underlying Index"). The Underlying Index consists of publicly-issued U.S. Treasury securities that are scheduled to mature between January 1, 2046 and December 15, 2046, inclusive. The Fund may also invest in short-term paper, cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds advised by BFA or its affiliates. The Fund is a term fund that will terminate on or about December 15, 2046, at which time it will distribute its remaining net assets to shareholders pursuant to a plan of liquidation. The Fund does not seek to return any predetermined amount at maturity or in periodic distributions. Qualifying securities are U.S. Treasury notes and bonds having $1 billion or more of outstanding face value, excluding amounts held by the Federal Reserve System Open Market Account ("SOMA"). In addition, the securities in the Underlying Index must have a fixed coupon schedule and be denominated in U.S. dollars.
