According to their website, They are seeking to provide a similar investment to the index that tracks a composition of US Treasury bonds That has short term durations including one to three months. Pretty much they are going out and buying short term treasuries on your behalf.
Who manages the $SGOV ETF?
iShares is the collection $SGOV is a part of, but the investment is ultimately managed by Black Rock.
