short-dated

Nearing its deadline

Short-dated describes financial instruments or contracts that mature or expire in the near future, typically within a year: short-dated government bonds, short-dated options.

The term contrasts with long-dated, which refers to instruments with distant maturities.

Short-dated securities generally carry lower risk but offer smaller returns.
