Safe Bonds vs Higher Yield | Business and Finance News
Description
Park your cash smartly with these two short-term bond ETFs: VGSH for rock-bottom safety and ISTB for higher yields with a dash of risk. VGSH, backed purely by U.S. Treasuries, costs nothing to own and offers steady, low returns. ISTB, mixing Treasuries with corporate bonds, pays out more—currently 4.20% vs. 3.90%—and has slightly outperformed over five years, but it’s also seen bigger drops during downturns. Choose VGSH if you want zero risk, or ISTB if you’re chasing higher income and can stomach a little more volatility.
