iShares iBonds Dec 2035 Term € Corp UCITS ETF

iShares iBonds Dec 2035 Term € Corp UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from iShares, traded under the ticker IG35 (ISIN IE000O1FWAW6). In a single purchase you get a diversified basket of holdings rather than a stake in just one business. In plain terms it is about lending to governments and companies in return for regular interest, which tends to be steadier than shares but grows more slowly, spread across its target market. Its largest holdings include KERING SA MTN RegS, JOHNSON & JOHNSON and ENI SPA MTN RegS. With about 92 holdings (the ten largest ≈ 18.2%), your money is diversified rather than concentrated in a handful of names. Its biggest country exposures are ~22.1% United States, ~16.4% France and ~13.1% Germany. By industry it concentrates most in ~99.7% Corporate and ~0.3% Other. Funds like this are often used as the steadier, lower-swing part of a portfolio — the ballast that cushions the ups and downs of shares. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.12% a year — about €12 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. It is an accumulating share class: dividends are rolled straight back in, compounding your returns rather than landing in your account as cash. It holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication); it is domiciled in Ireland and UCITS-regulated, a European standard built to protect everyday investors and trades in EUR. On the standard KID risk scale it is rated 4 out of 7 and its price has swung about 5.2% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2025, and its KID suggests a holding period of medium to long term. Like any investment, it can lose value as well as gain, and what it did before does not predict what it will do next. (Fund data sourced from iShares.)
