How does the BWZ ETF work?

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are essential financial instruments that provide investors with the means to diversify their portfolios without the need to buy individual securities. The BWZ ETF offers an opportunity to invest in a global treasury market with a focus on bonds outside the US. Here’s a closer look at the BWZ ETF.

BWZ ETF: Overview

The BWZ ETF aims to track the performance of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year Global Treasury ex-US Capped Index (the “Index”). This particular index is designed to measure the performance of fixed-rate local currency sovereign debt of investment-grade countries outside the United States, with remaining maturities of one to three years.

BWZ ETF Underlying and exposure: what does it track and how?

The BWZ ETF's primary focus is on government bonds issued by investment-grade countries outside the US in local currencies. The bonds chosen for this ETF have remaining maturities between one and three years and are rated investment grade. This means they’ve been deemed to have a low risk of default by major credit rating agencies. Securities in the Index include those with certain minimum amounts outstanding, based on the currency they're denominated in. This index uses a modified “market capitalization” methodology, ensuring each constituent country is represented proportionally by its market capitalization.
