Pimco 1-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index Fund  (TUZ) will have an expense ratio of 0.09%.  This compares favorably to iShares Lehman 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF’s expense ratio of 0.15%.

This is the first of seven ETFs that PIMCO has in the pipeline.  I am esspecially looking forward to the ETFs that allow greater maturity management with TIPs.

  • Pimco 3-7 Year U.S. Treasury Index Fund
  • Pimco 7-15 Year U.S. Treasury Index Fund
  • Pimco 15+ Year U.S. Treasury Index Fund
  • Pimco Broad U.S. TIPS Index Fund
  • Pimco Short Maturity U.S. TIPS Index Fund
  • Pimco Long Maturity U.S. TIPS Index Fund
