ISHG holds developed ex-US bonds with maturities between one to three years. The index limits each countrys exposure at 21% and weights their securities in proportion to their market value. In addition, the total market weights of the countries with more than 4.6% market weight in the index cannot exceed 47% of the total index weight. The index is rebalanced on a monthly basis. Although its market value-weighted index aims to dampen exposure to the most indebted countries by capping country weights, ISHG still ends up with big exposure to Japan and Eurozone. Investors must weigh their expectations of yields as well as the euro and yen when considering ISHG as the bonds it holds are denominated in local currencies. Prior to Sep. 1, 2020, the fund tracked the S&P International Sovereign Ex-U.S. 1-3 Year Bond Index.
