The Yuanta US Treasury 20+ Year Bond ETF is awarded Outstanding Achiever for providing a pioneering instrument that gives investors reliable and accessible exposure to US government 20-year bonds.

The ETF is an exciting product. It allows smaller investors access to long-dated US government bonds – generally considered a safe asset – and one that can provide performance in risk-off environments.

This ETF was first launched in 2017 and tracked the underlying index of 20-year treasuries compiled by ICE Group, a highly reputable index compiling company.

The ETF is managed by passively adopting the index's weight by market value and has achieved a R2 tracking value of over 85% in the past 12 months. The ETF cost is 15-20 basis points below average, and the average bid-ask spread was less than 0.25%.

In the past year, the ETF's asset under management has decreased by more than 30%.

This ETF has been reviewed by four industry veterans of the Benchmark judging committee.
