Recession Risk Ruled Out? That Makes VGLT More Attractive.
VGLT offers lower fees compared to TLT, making it an attractive long-term bond solution, especially after the February fee cut. During the last year of trading, betting on rate cut expectations would have led to negative real returns on VGLT. Short-term maturities, on the other hand, generated alpha, especially after the recent dump of 20+ year Treasuries.
