A Treasury ladder is a bond investment strategy which seeks to provide diversification and income using a portfolio of U.S. Treasury securities. Depending on the targeted maturity range, these strategies can consist of Treasury Bonds ("T-Bonds"), notes ("T-Notes") or bills ("T-Bills"). Treasury ladder portfolios span across a range of different maturities. Each maturity is considered a "rung" on the ladder, and usually each rung is equally weighted in proportion to one another. Combined, the equally weighted collection of bond rungs forms the bond ladder. Over time, as bonds mature or approach maturity, the assets are reinvested, or "rolled", to the next rung. The Global X Treasury Ladder ETFs offer the opportunity to maintain exposure to a varied treasury portfolio at a competitive cost within the ETF structure, and they allow investors to target specific maturities across the yield curve in a single trade..

"With the launch of these Treasury ladder funds, Global X now proudly offers investors exposure across the yield curve," said Robert Scrudato, Director of Options and Income Research at Global X. "The Federal Reserve appears set to cut rates, and in such an environment these ETFs may appeal to investors who are seeking periodic cash flows."
