iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF AGG

iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF is an ETF (exchange-traded fund) managed by iShares (BlackRock), classified by Morningstar as Intermediate Core Bond and domiciled in United States. It was launched on 22 September 2003. It is listed on NYSE Arca in USD under the ticker AGG, ISIN US4642872265.

It belongs to the bond family. Bonds cover government and corporate debt. In a portfolio they're usually there for stability rather than return, and they behave nothing like equities.

Stated objective, as published by Financial Times:

The investment seeks to track the investment results of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The index measures the performance of the total U.S. investment-grade bond market. The fund will invest at least 80% of its as sets in the component securities of the underlying index and TBAs that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of the component securities of the underlying index, and the fund will invest at least 90% of its assets in fixed income securities of the types included in the underlying index that the advisor believes will help the fund track the underlying index.

Financial Times

Two things change the profile a lot: the maturity (a short-term fund is nothing like one holding bonds over 20 years) and whether it carries currency hedging. In unhedged global bonds, the exchange rate can weigh more than the bonds themselves, which is why global bond funds are often sold in a EUR Hedged version.

These are the other products of the same family in the catalogue. Not all of them track exactly the same index: compare the full name, the TER, the currency, whether they accumulate or distribute and where they are listed.
