Company overview
Company snapshot
iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) is one of the largest fixed income ETFs, providing institutional-scale access to the long-duration segment of the U.S. Treasury market. It operates as a passively managed ETF, offering institutional investors efficient access to long-term U.S. government debt.
TLT’s Investment strategy focuses on tracking the ICE U.S. Treasury 20+ Year Bond Index, seeking to provide exposure to U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of twenty years or more.

Foolish take
When the market is gripped by uncertainty, investors often rediscover the quiet strength of treasuries. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF gives investors a simple way to own long-term U.S government bonds, backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. It is perfectly designed for investors who are pursuing stability and income.
After a long slide through 2023 and 2024, TLT has found firmer footing in 2025. Inflation has eased to about 2.9 percent, and the Federate Reserve has paused rate changes for now. The yield on 20-year Treasuries is currently ranging around 4.5-5%. Those levels have not been seen consistently in the last decade, and now it offers investors a rare chance to lock in meaningful income from one of the safest asset classes. If growth slows or the Fed begins to lower rates, TLT could potentially benefit from both its income stream and rising bond prices.
Long-term bonds can still carry risk, and their prices may swing when sentiment shifts. For investors who measure success in years, TLT offers a way to bring stability back into a portfolio while collecting income consistently. iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF rewards patience, not prediction and reminds investors that resilience often grows in the quiet corners of the market.
