About BMOAX

The iShares U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Fund Investor A Shares is a mutual fund designed to closely mirror the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad benchmark representing the total U.S. investment-grade bond market. Its primary function is to provide diversified exposure to fixed-income securities, including U.S. Treasury obligations, government-related and corporate bonds, as well as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The fund emphasizes bonds with investment-grade ratings and typically maintains moderate credit quality and interest rate sensitivity, placing it in the intermediate core bond category. Notable features include a significant allocation to U.S. Treasury securities, which comprise over 45% of the portfolio, along with holdings in government-sponsored entities such as the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. Managed by BlackRock, the fund offers a relatively low expense ratio and seeks to track its benchmark index passively, without a sustainable or ESG-focused investment mandate. As a widely used core bond holding, it plays an important role in asset allocation strategies by providing potential income and risk diversification within multi-asset portfolios.
