5 articlesVanguard Short-Term Treasury ETF (VGSH) and Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (SCHO) are nearly identical Treasury bond ETFs with matching 0.03% expense ratios, 4.0% yields, and -0.2% one-year returns. The main difference is VGSH's larger asset base of $32.7 billion versus SCHO's $11.9 billion, giving VGSH a slight liquidity advantage for investors.
After three years of strong S&P 500 gains, investors are considering portfolio protection strategies. The article recommends three Vanguard ETFs: VGSH (short-term Treasury bonds) for low volatility, BND (total bond market) for diversified bond exposure, and VFMV (minimum volatility stocks) for defensive equity positioning. These options offer varying levels of downside protection in case of a market correction.
Vanguard's Short-Term Bond ETF (BSV) and Short-Term Treasury ETF (VGSH) both offer ultra-low 0.03% expense ratios, but differ in composition. BSV provides broader exposure with 3,115 holdings across government, corporate, and international bonds with $68.2B in AUM, while VGSH focuses exclusively on U.S. Treasuries with 92 holdings and $30.4B in AUM. VGSH slightly outperformed over 5 years with higher dividend yield, but BSV showed stronger 1-year returns. The choice depends on investor preference for safety (VGSH) versus broader diversification (BSV).
The article discusses the trade-offs between yield and risk in the bond market, focusing on Vanguard bond ETFs. It suggests that for most investors, the Vanguard Short Term Treasury ETF offers the best balance of yield and risk, while longer-duration bond ETFs may not justify the higher price risk.
