5 articlesVGIT and IEI are both intermediate-term U.S. Treasury ETFs with key differences: VGIT offers a lower expense ratio (0.03% vs 0.15%), higher yield (3.8% vs 3.6%), and broader maturity range (3-10 years), making it more rate-sensitive. IEI has a narrower maturity band (3-7 years), lower volatility, and slightly better 5-year returns. The choice depends on portfolio positioning and desired rate exposure.
Vanguard's Total Bond Market ETF (BND) and Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF (VGIT) both offer ultra-low 0.03% expense ratios but serve different investor needs. BND provides broader diversification across investment-grade bonds with higher yields and returns, while VGIT focuses exclusively on U.S. Treasuries with lower volatility, making it suitable as a defensive portfolio hedge.
Vanguard's BND and VGIT are both low-cost bond ETFs with identical 0.03% expense ratios, but they differ significantly in composition and risk. VGIT focuses exclusively on intermediate-term U.S. Treasury securities (all AAA-rated, 104 holdings), while BND provides broad exposure to 15,000 investment-grade bonds including Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, and corporates. BND offers slightly higher dividend yield (3.86% vs 3.79%) and lower maximum drawdown, but carries more risk due to holdings in lower-rated bonds (A and BBB rated). The choice depends on investor preference for safety versus diversified yield.

Both charge identical 0.03% expense ratios, making the choice dependent on investor risk tolerance and income needs.
