TLT: Rate Expectations Down And Yields Up? It's All About The Term Premium
The TLT tracks the performance of long-term Treasury bonds, which appear to be losing their safe haven status.

Overview
This fund is designed for investors seeking to invest in U.S. Treasury securities with a focus on long-term maturity obligations. By committing at least 80% of its assets to securities that are part of the underlying index, the fund aims to closely track its performance. The underlying index is specifically dedicated to measuring the performance of U.S. Treasury public obligations that have remaining maturities of twenty years or longer. This strategic focus on long-term U.S. government securities positions the fund as a potential choice for investors looking for exposure to long-duration Treasury instruments. The investment approach emphasizes not only adherence to the composition of the underlying index but also a high allocation (at least 90%) to U.S. Treasury securities, encapsulating a conservative investment philosophy geared toward tracking index performance while investing in secure government obligations.
