JPMorgan ETFs (Ireland) ICAV - BetaBuilders EUR Govt Bond 1-3 yr UCITS ETF (J13E.L) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the J.P. Morgan EMU Government Bond 1-3 Year Select Maturity Index, focusing on short-term euro-denominated government bonds issued by Eurozone countries with maturities between one and three years. The ETF employs a physical sampling replication method, investing in a representative portfolio of liquid, fixed-rate bullet bonds with a minimum outstanding amount of EUR 1 billion, excluding callable, putable, inflation-linked or convertible securities; it is accumulating in nature with a total expense ratio of 0.10% p.a. and holds approximately 73-74 securities. The fund targets institutional and retail investors seeking low-risk, low-duration fixed income exposure for portfolio diversification, interest rate risk mitigation and stable income within the Eurozone sovereign debt market.
