Its character
A defensive holding rather than a growth one, built on the highest-quality government debt there is. Its medium maturity gives it moderate sensitivity to interest rates — more than a cash or short-bond fund, but far less than a long-dated one like a 20-year Treasury fund.
What to keep in mind
The main risk is interest rates rather than the share market or credit: when rates rise, existing bond prices typically fall, and the medium maturity gives that a moderate effect. Being US Treasuries, the credit risk (the chance of not being repaid) is about as low as it gets.
