Investment objective & strategy

As of Nov. 26, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The iShares AAA CLO Active ETF (the Fund) seeks to provide capital preservation and current income by investing principally in a portfolio composed of U.S. dollar-denominated AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations (CLOs).

Strategy. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its assets in U.S. dollar-denominated CLOs that are, at the time of purchase, rated AAA (or equivalent) by at least one of the major rating agencies or, if unrated, determined by the Fund management team to be of similar quality. The Funds investments in derivatives will be counted toward the Funds 80% policy to the extent that they provide investment exposure to the securities included within that policy or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities. The Funds 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days prior written notice to shareholders.

The Funds investments in derivatives will be counted toward the Funds 80% policy to the extent that they provide investment exposure to the securities included within that policy or to one or more market risk factors associated with such securities. The Funds 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days prior written notice to shareholders. The Fund may invest in CLOs of any maturity. The Fund may purchase CLOs in both the primary market ( i.e. , directly from arranging banks) and in the secondary market. A CLO is ordinarily issued by a trust or other special purpose entity (SPE) and is typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic and non-U.S. senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, covenant lite loans (which have few or no financial maintenance covenants) and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans, and to a lesser extent, high yield bonds rated below investment grade (commonly called junk bonds), held by such issuer. The cash flows from the SPE are split into two or more portions, called tranches, varying in risk and yield. The riskiest portion of a CLO is the equity tranche, which bears the first loss from defaults from the bonds or loans in the SPE and serves to protect the other, more senior tranches from default (though such protection is not complete). Since it is partially protected from defaults, a senior tranche of a CLO typically has higher ratings and lower yields than its underlying securities, and may be rated AAA. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in U.S. dollar-denominated CLOs that are, at the time of purchase, rated AA or A (or equivalent) by at least one of the major rating agencies or, if unrated, determined by the Fund management team to be of similar quality. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in any single CLO. The Fund may invest in floating- and fixed-rate CLOs, but will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in fixed-rate CLOs. The Fund may also buy when-issued securities and participate in delayed delivery transactions. The Fund is classified as non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Investment Company Act).
