Ireland (IE)Answered from the same data and calculations used above.
The ISIN of iShares € Corp Bond 1-5yr UCITS ETF is IE00B4L60045. It trades in EUR. The ISIN identifies the fund itself, so every exchange listing of this share class shares it.
iShares € Corp Bond 1-5yr UCITS ETF (IE15) charges a total expense ratio of 0.20% a year, about $20 a year on a $10,000 holding. The TER is deducted continuously from fund assets rather than billed to you, so it shows up as a drag on returns and never as a separate charge.
Measured against Aggregate bond (proxy: AGG), IE15 lagged by -0.77% a year — that is the cost you actually bore, versus a headline TER of 0.20%. It trailed by LESS than its stated fee, so securities lending or tax treatment recovered part of the cost. This realised tracking difference is the honest number to compare funds on; the TER alone is not.
Yes — iShares € Corp Bond 1-5yr UCITS ETF (IE15) is a distributing share class, so it pays income out to holders rather than reinvesting it. Its trailing yield is about 2.92%. You receive cash and are typically taxed in the year of the distribution.
iShares € Corp Bond 1-5yr UCITS ETF (IE15) is domiciled in Ireland (IE). A Ireland-domiciled UCITS fund receives US dividends at a 15% treaty withholding rate inside the fund, versus the 30% statutory rate on dividends paid directly to a non-resident (generally 25% for an Indian resident under the India-US treaty with a valid W-8BEN). The fund-level 15% is deducted before NAV and is not reclaimable by you. Its shares also sit outside US estate tax, which applies to US-situs assets above $60,000 for non-resident aliens.
iShares € Corp Bond 1-5yr UCITS ETF (IE15) tracks the iBoxx EUR Corporates 1–5 Year, holding 2,446 positions. Any fund tracking the same index gives you materially the same exposure, so cost, size and share class are usually what separate the alternatives, not the strategy.
iShares € Corp Bond 1-5yr UCITS ETF (IE15) holds $3.3bn in assets. Size matters mainly for liquidity and durability: larger funds tend to quote tighter spreads and are far less likely to be closed or merged away.
Over the measured window IE15 showed annualised volatility of about 2.8% and a worst peak-to-trough fall of 10.0%. Volatility describes the size of a typical swing; the drawdown is what actually happened at the worst moment, and it is the number worth checking you could have held through.
IE15 returned 3.5% in total over the trailing five years, measured in EUR. Past performance describes what the index did, not what it will do, and for an index tracker it is mostly a statement about the market rather than about the manager.
iShares € Corp Bond 1-5yr UCITS ETF (IE15) launched on 2009-09-24, giving it about 17 years of history. Note that a price series for one exchange listing can start later than the fund itself if the listing was added afterwards.
