A Multi-ETF Strategy Can Ease Bond Market Uncertainty
In times of uncertainty in the bond market, there's one thing for certain. And that's that deciding where to get exposure can be complex.
VCSH: Hedging Equities With Corporate Investment-Grade Debt
Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund ETF offers a stable investment with a 4.73% yield, balancing risk through investment-grade corporate debt with an average duration of 2.6 years. Despite low growth in AUM, VCSH's low expense ratio and strong corporate creditworthiness make it a compelling alternative to treasury bonds. Corporate profits and cash reserves are strong, suggesting that investment-grade corporate debt remains relatively risk-free, unless faced with prolonged economic contraction.
