Overview
The iShares 10-20 Year Treasury Bond ETF is a US Government bond fund issued by iShares with $11.0 billion in assets under management. It holds an overall rank of #376 out of 458 tracked ETFs and sits at #18 within its specific category of 22 funds. The fund carries an ETFValuer grade of C, reflecting a score of 51.0 out of 100. Its expense ratio of 0.15% is more than double the category median of 0.07%, while its dividend yield of 4.59% significantly exceeds the category median of 3.84%. The top ten holdings represent 37.5% of assets, with the largest single position being the United States of America at 5.5%.
The fund's price of $96.61 sits at the lower end of its 52-week range, representing only 8.0% of the distance between its low of $95.84 and high of $105.47. Short-term performance shows a slight decline over the past week at -0.32%, contrasting with a modest gain of +0.16% over the last month. Over the longer term, the three-year return stands at +6.07%, whereas the one-year return of -0.36% trails the category median of +0.33%. The ETFValuer grade has remained unchanged at C across the last 35 tracked days. Historical price data is available for only 3.0 years, limiting the depth of long-term trend analysis.
With a beta of 2.00, the fund exhibits high sensitivity to market movements compared to the broader market. Annualized volatility is recorded at 7.68%, which is labeled as Very Low, yet the Sharpe ratio of -0.70 indicates poor risk-adjusted returns. The maximum drawdown of -11.67% highlights the extent of recent losses from peak values. Liquidity is supported by an average daily volume of 996,825 shares, though the bid/ask spread of 1.02% suggests moderate trading costs. These metrics collectively describe a fund that has experienced significant volatility relative to its income generation.

TLH Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment
Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 1.02% and average daily volume is 997K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $11.0B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.
Domicile & tax treatment: TLH is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
