Our read on BSCT
BA rung of a bond ladder in ETF form: roughly 500 investment-grade corporate bonds that all come due in 2029, bundled into one ticker that pays monthly.
The fund seeks to track an index representing US dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds with effective maturities in 2029.
Why people hold it
- Every bond it holds comes due in the same year, so it behaves more like one bond with a finish line than a bond fund that rolls its portfolio forever.
- Costs 0.10% a year, matching the fee on iShares' 2029 corporate rung (IBDU) and sitting right at the category median.
- Tracks the Nasdaq BulletShares USD Corporate Bond 2029 Index closely, with billions in assets and active trading behind it. One of the tighter implementations in its peer group.
- Spreads the exposure across roughly 500 investment-grade corporate bonds and distributes monthly.
Worth knowing
- This is company credit, not government paper. For a 2029 rung without corporate risk, the Treasury version (IBTJ) runs 0.07%.
- The fee is at the category median, not below it. Vanguard's 2028 corporate rung (VBCB) comes in at 0.08%.
- Monthly is the payout cadence, not the payout size: income moves with the bonds held, and the portfolio gets shorter as 2029 approaches.
