Issued by iShares, this fund has accumulated assets under management of $4.36 billion and currently trades at a price of $69.56. It holds an overall rank of #91 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of B with a score of 71.4/100. The fund offers an expense ratio of 0.08% and provides a dividend yield of 2.57%. The substantial asset base and moderate pricing suggest significant investor adoption relative to the broader universe of 458 funds. These metrics position the fund as a mid-tier option within its specific sector while maintaining a competitive cost structure.

Short-term performance shows a positive trajectory with a 1-day return of +0.12% and a 1-week gain of +1.12%. Momentum accelerated over the first quarter with a 1-month return of +2.82% and a 3-month return of +10.28%. The upward trend continued into the half-year mark, delivering a 6-month return of +20.73% and a year-to-date gain of +22.99%. Over the longer term, the fund posted a 1-year return of +24.24% and a 3-year return of +44.95%. This pattern indicates consistent growth across all measured horizons, with the 3-year figure reflecting a compounding effect that exceeds the shorter-term annualized rates. The data shows no divergence between short-term and long-term results, as each period builds upon the previous gains.

The fund carries a volatility label of Low and a beta of 0.98, indicating price movements that generally align with or slightly trail the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 1.37 suggests the fund has generated strong risk-adjusted returns relative to the volatility experienced. Despite the low volatility classification, the maximum drawdown recorded was -18.70%, representing the largest peak-to-trough decline during the measurement period. This combination of a low beta and a Sharpe ratio above 1.0 implies that the fund has managed downside risk effectively while capturing significant upside. The -18.70% drawdown serves as the primary metric for potential loss severity, contrasting with the generally stable volatility profile. Investors observing these figures would see a fund that balances moderate market sensitivity with a history of efficient return generation.

USRT Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 11.39% and average daily volume is 521K/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 $4.36B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: USRT 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.
