Global X Long-Term Treasury Ladder ETF (LLDR) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investment results corresponding generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE US Treasury 10-30 Years Laddered Bond Index. The fund invests primarily in a diversified basket of U.S. Treasury bonds issued by the U.S. government with remaining maturities of at least 10 years but less than 30 years, employing a laddering strategy across 20 equal-weighted rungs to mitigate interest rate volatility and reinvestment risk; it rebalances annually and reconstitutes monthly, redistributing weights from empty rungs evenly. LLDR targets investors seeking high credit quality, duration exposure, and income potential from long-term Treasuries, with key characteristics including a Macaulay duration of approximately 13.7 years, modified duration of 13.34, and yield to maturity around 4.64% as of late 2025. The ETF operates in the U.S. fixed income market, focusing on government securities with nearly 100% allocation to Treasuries and minimal credit risk relative to corporate or other fixed income options.
Launched on September 10, 2024, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, LLDR forms part of Global X's suite of Treasury Ladder ETFs alongside the Short-Term Treasury Ladder ETF (SLDR) and Intermediate-Term Treasury Ladder ETF (MLDR), introduced concurrently to offer targeted exposure across the Treasury yield curve.
