Overview

The PIMCO 25+ Year Zero Coupon U.S. Treasury Index Exchange-Traded Fund, identified by the ticker ZROZ, operates within the US Bonds - Government category managed by issuer PIMCO. This fund tracks a universe of 22 ETFs in its specific category and holds an overall rank of #428 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all sectors. It has received an ETFValuer grade of D with a score of 36.9 out of 100, reflecting its current standing among peers. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.15% and offers a dividend yield of 5.03%, providing income relative to its cost structure. With an asset under management of $1.37 billion and a share price of $59.03, the fund demonstrates significant capitalization despite its lower overall ranking. These metrics suggest a substantial investor base, though the fund's performance metrics indicate challenges in matching the broader market's success relative to its category peers.

Recent performance data reveals a pattern of negative returns across nearly all measured time horizons for the PIMCO 25+ Year Zero Coupon U.S. Treasury Index Exchange-Traded Fund. The fund posted a one-day return of -3.12% and a one-week return of -1.45%, continuing into a one-month decline of -8.51%. Year-to-date performance stands at -5.27%, while the one-year return is recorded at -2.24%. Longer-term results show further erosion, with a three-month return of -5.04%, a six-month return of -6.61%, and a three-year return of -16.41%. This trajectory indicates a consistent downward trend where short-term volatility has compounded into significant long-term losses without a clear recovery signal in the provided data.

The fund exhibits a moderate volatility label alongside a high beta of 3.68, indicating that its price movements are significantly more sensitive to market fluctuations than the broader benchmark. This heightened sensitivity is reflected in a maximum drawdown of -26.10%, representing the largest peak-to-trough decline experienced by the fund. The Sharpe ratio of -0.46 suggests that the returns generated have not adequately compensated investors for the level of risk taken during the measured period. Together, these figures imply a profile where the fund amplifies market moves in both directions, resulting in substantial losses during downturns without delivering sufficient excess returns to offset the associated volatility.

ZROZ Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 2.40% and average daily volume is 631K/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 $1.37B 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.
