iShares® LifePath® Target Date 2030 ETF

What this fund is

iShares® LifePath® Target Date 2030 ETF is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from iShares, traded under the ticker ITDB (ISIN US46438G8289). 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 a ready-made mix of shares, bonds and sometimes other assets in a single fund, so the balance is managed for you, spread across its target market.

Investors often use a broad fund like this as a long-term 'core' holding — a single building block that covers much of a global portfolio in one trade. Its ongoing charge (TER) is 0.09% a year — about €9 a year on a €10,000 holding, taken automatically from the fund. It holds the underlying investments directly (physical replication).

Its price has swung about 7.8% over the past year, which describes how much its price tends to move rather than whether it is good. It launched in 2023. As with any investment, its value can go down as well as up, and past performance is not a guide to future results. (Fund data sourced from iShares.)
