The Markets in Review

Dear Shareholder,

Significant economic headwinds emerged during the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2023, as investors navigated changing economic conditions and volatile markets. The U.S. economy shrank in the first half of 2022 before returning to modest growth in the second half of the year, marking a shift to a more challenging post-reopening economic environment. Changes in consumer spending patterns and a tight labor market led to elevated inflation, which reached a 40-year high before beginning to moderate. Moreover, while the foremost effect of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been a severe humanitarian crisis, the ongoing war continued to present challenges for both investors and policymakers.

Equity prices fell as interest rates rose, particularly during the first half of the reporting period. Both large-and small-capitalization U.S. stocks fell, although equities began to recover in the second half of the period as inflation eased and economic growth resumed. Emerging market stocks and international equities from developed markets declined overall, pressured by rising interest rates and a strong U.S. dollar.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose notably during the reporting period, driving its price down, as investors reacted to fluctuating inflation data and attempted to anticipate its impact on future interest rate changes. The corporate bond market also faced inflationary headwinds, and higher interest rates led to rising borrowing costs for corporate issuers.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”), acknowledging that inflation has been more persistent than expected, raised interest rates eight times. Furthermore, the Fed wound down its bond-buying programs and accelerated the reduction of its balance sheet.

Restricted labor supply kept inflation elevated even as other inflation drivers, such as goods prices and energy costs, moderated. While economic growth slowed in the last year, we believe that taming inflation requires a more substantial decline that lowers demand to a level more in line with the economy’s productive capacity. Although the Fed has decelerated the pace of interest rate hikes, it still seems determined to get inflation back to target. With this in mind, we believe the possibility of a U.S. recession in the near-term is high, but the dimming economic outlook has not yet been fully reflected in current market prices. We believe investors should expect a period of higher volatility as markets adjust to the new economic reality and policymakers attempt to adapt to rapidly changing conditions. Turmoil in the banking sector shortly following the end of the period highlighted the potential for the knock-on effects of substantially higher interest rates to disrupt markets with little warning.

While we favor an overweight to equities in the long term, several factors lead us to take an underweight stance on equities overall in the near term. Expectations for corporate earnings remain elevated, which seems inconsistent with the possibility of a recession in a business environment characterized by higher costs and reduced pricing power. Nevertheless, we are overweight on emerging market stocks as a weaker U.S. dollar provides a supportive backdrop. We also see long-term opportunities in credit, where valuations are appealing and higher yields provide attractive income, although we are neutral on credit in the near term, as we believe that troubles in the banking sector will likely lead to reduced lending. However, we believe there are still some strong opportunities for a six- to twelve-month horizon, particularly short-term U.S. Treasuries, global inflation-linked bonds, and emerging market bonds denominated in local currency.

Overall, our view is that investors need to think globally, position themselves to be prepared for a decarbonizing economy, and be nimble as market conditions change. We encourage you to talk with your financial advisor and visit iShares.com for further insight about investing in today’s markets.

Market Overview

 

iShares Trust

U.S. Bond Market Overview

U.S. investment-grade bonds lost ground during the 12 months ended February 28, 2023 (the “reporting period”). The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of U.S. bond performance, returned -9.72% in this interval.

The poor return for the fixed-income market reflected the backdrop of elevated inflation and rising short-term interest rates. Consumer price inflation—which began to rise in late 2021—took another leg higher following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, with year-over-year increases of over 8% in each month from March to September. While inflation showed signs of cooling in late 2022, it nonetheless remained in a range of 6.0% to 7.1% over the final four months of the period – well above the U.S. Federal Reserve’s (Fed’s) stated target of 2%.

The Fed responded to rising inflation by winding down its stimulative quantitative easing program and beginning to raise interest rates aggressively. The Fed boosted short-term rates eight times over the course of the 12-month period, moving the benchmark fed funds rate from a range of 0.0% - 0.25% to 4.50% - 4.75%. This represented the fastest increase in such a short span of time in decades. In addition, the Fed’s communications repeatedly stated the central bank’s intent to remain steadfast in its commitment to fighting inflation. This approach quashed periodic hopes for a pivot toward a less restrictive policy, and it prompted investors to ratchet up their expectations for the likely “terminal rate;” in other words, the level at which the Fed could stop raising rates.

These circumstances created significant headwinds for the fixed-income market. The yield on the two-year U.S. Treasury note rose from 1.43% to 4.82% (as its price fell) over the course of the year, while the 10-year yield climbed from 1.83% to 3.92%. As a result of these moves, the yield curve reached its highest level of inversion (in other words, the extent to which short-term rates exceed longer-term rates) since 1981. Typically, an inverted yield curve is seen as a precursor to a recession.

Investment-grade corporate bonds underperformed Treasuries by a modest margin. Investors’ reduced appetite for risk contributed to an increase in yield spreads versus government issues over the first eight months of the period, as did concerns that the combination of rising inflation and slowing economic growth would crimp both profit margins and earnings. Corporates experienced improving relative performance from November onward, however, offsetting most of the category’s previous shortfall.

Securitized assets—a category that encompasses mortgage-backed securities (MBS), asset backed securities (ABS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS)—outperformed both Treasuries and corporates. MBS were the weakest performer of the three as the Fed’s decision to end its quantitative easing policy reduced a key source of demand. ABS, while losing ground in absolute terms, held up reasonably well due to their shorter average maturities and the continued strength of the U.S. consumer sector. CMBS also outpaced the broader fixed-income market.

Portfolio Management Commentary

Returns for shorter-maturity investment-grade bonds were well into negative territory during the reporting period, in keeping with the weak showing for the bond market as a whole. Historically high inflation spurred the U.S. Federal Reserve to sharply raise the target range for its benchmark fed funds rate from 0%-0.25% to 4.5%-4.75% via a series of rate hikes beginning in March, far exceeding expectations for policy tightening going into the period. As a result, recession fears increased and the U.S. Treasury yield curve became inverted. Russia’s late-February invasion of Ukraine led to a spike in prices early in the period for a variety of commodities ranging from wheat to oil to metals essential to the manufacture of computer chips. While commodity prices eased as the period progressed, inflation was more persistent in the services sector as the labor market remained robust with unemployment dropping to 50 year lows and job openings hovering at record levels. Inflows to the fixed income space increased as the period progressed, driven by significantly more attractive yields.

The Bloomberg MSCI US 1-5 Year Corporate ESG Focus Index (“the Index”) slightly underperformed the broader market, as represented by the Bloomberg US Corporate 1-5 Year Index. Within the Index, performance was most negative for longer maturity, more interest rate sensitive bonds. Relative to the broader market, the ESG selection process leads to overweight and underweight positions in bonds with higher or lower ESG characteristics, respectively. Consequently, the Index achieved an ESG quality score that was higher than the broader market, with lower exposure to carbon intensive companies.

These circumstances may continue for an extended period of time and may continue to affect adversely the value and liquidity of each Fund’s investments. As a result, current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at iShares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. Beginning August 10, 2020, the price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is the closing price. Prior to August 10, 2020, Market Price was determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of a fund may not trade in the secondary market until after the fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the fund, the NAV of the fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Disclosure of Expenses

Shareholders of each Fund may incur the following charges: (1) transactional expenses, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing expenses, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense examples shown (which are based on a hypothetical investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held through the end of the period) are intended to assist shareholders both in calculating expenses based on an investment in each Fund and in comparing these expenses with similar costs of investing in other funds.

The expense examples provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 and then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

The expense examples also provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of investing in the Funds and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

The expenses shown in the expense examples are intended to highlight shareholders’ ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional expenses, such as brokerage commissions and other fees paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help shareholders determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds. If these transactional expenses were included, shareholder expenses would have been higher.
