The whole US investment-grade bond market. ~6 year duration, mostly Treasuries and MBS.
Same benchmark as BND with slightly different sampling. Interchangeable in practice.
Effectively a cash equivalent — T-bills with near-zero duration risk.
Long-duration Treasuries. Maximum interest-rate sensitivity, no credit risk.
Investment-grade corporate credit with roughly 8 years of duration.
Below-investment-grade credit. Behaves more like equity than like a bond fund.
