How can I find the average duration of bonds in a fund? Especially, I would like to look up the average duration of bonds in the following two funds:
- Smart-i 先進国債券インデックス(為替ヘッジあり)
- eMAXIS Slim 先進国債券インデックス
Is anybody aware of a bond fund with a short duration (1 or 2 years)?

Re: Duration of bond funds
The eMAXIS one has a duration of 6.4 mentioned in this monthly report:

I haven’t looked for mutual funds specifically, but there are US ETFs that are specifically shorter duration, and others that are quite the opposite.

Re: Duration of bond funds
ETFs are the way to go for specific durations.
1-3 months treasuries all the way to 20 year + are available in yen terms.
There are also Austrian, European etc.
Also Rakuten and SBI etc have a decent selection of individual bonds you can buy and hold directly.
