Overview

The PIMCO 25+ Year Zero Coupon U.S. Treasury Index ETF is a government bond fund managed by PIMCO with $1.88 billion in assets. It holds United States Treasury securities, with the top ten positions comprising 53.3% of total assets. The fund carries a D grade and ranks 22nd out of 22 peers in the US Bonds - Government category. Its expense ratio of 0.15% is more than double the category median of 0.07%. Conversely, the 5.25% dividend yield significantly exceeds the peer median of 3.92%.

The fund’s price of $58.29 sits at 32.8% of its 52-week range, reflecting a recent one-day decline of 0.77% despite a weekly gain of 2.93%. Short-term momentum shows a one-month increase of 4.21%, contrasting with a year-to-date loss of 5.49% and a one-year return of -13.74%. This one-year performance lags the category median of -1.42% by a wide margin. The D grade has remained unchanged over the last 35 tracked days, indicating stable but poor ratings. Historical data is limited to 3.0 years, which constrains the long-term view.

With a beta of 3.57, the ETF exhibits high sensitivity to market movements compared to the broader index. Annualized volatility of 16.06% is classified as moderate, while the maximum drawdown reached -32.48%. The Sharpe ratio of -1.17 suggests that risk-adjusted returns have been negative. Liquidity is supported by an average daily volume of 1,091,959 shares. These metrics collectively describe a fund that has experienced significant downside pressure and poor risk-adjusted performance.

ZROZ Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Average daily volume is 1.1M/day. Higher volume and a larger fund generally mean lower round-trip trading costs. AUM of $1.88B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: ZROZ 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.
