BlackRock Plans Nine New iShares iBonds ETFs

BY MT Newswires | CORPORATE | 09:43 AM EST

09:43 AM EST, 03/05/2026 (MT Newswires) -- BlackRock (BLK) said Thursday that it plans to add nine exchange-traded funds to its iShares iBonds lineup, extending the maturity range across US Treasuries, Treasury inflation-protected securities, investment-grade corporate debt, high-yield bonds and municipal securities.

The company said the new funds are expected to broaden the defined maturity bond ETF platform, which currently manages $52 billion in assets.

The additional products are intended to provide investors with exposure to bonds that mature in specific years while trading on exchanges like stocks, the asset management firm said.

BlackRock (BLK) said registration statements for the funds, expected to launch before the end of next month, are effective, but the products are not yet available for trading.

Price: 1041.00, Change: -8.02, Percent Change: -0.76

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
