Our read on GIGB

ETF.net Research

In short

AMost investment-grade corporate bond funds just buy the biggest borrowers. Goldman's index screens the market on liquidity and fundamentals first, then spreads the money across roughly 1,600 bonds for 0.08% a year.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks to track the FTSE Goldman Sachs Investment Grade Corporate Bond Index, which measures U.S.-dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds meeting liquidity and fundamental screening criteria.

Why people hold it

  • Costs 0.08% a year, well under the typical investment-grade corporate bond ETF's 0.19%.
  • The index screens US dollar investment-grade corporates for liquidity and fundamentals rather than simply following who borrowed the most.gsam.com
  • Tracks that index about as tightly as passive bond funds get, and holds roughly 1,600 bonds so no single issuer carries the load.
  • Pays monthly, matching how corporate bond coupons tend to land in a portfolio.

Worth knowing

  • Cheap, but not the cheapest shelf: VCIT, USIG and SPIB run at 0.03% to 0.04%. You are paying a few basis points for the screening.
  • Broad-maturity corporate credit moves on two levers, interest rates and credit spreads, so it swings more than short-dated bond funds.
  • A mid-sized, moderately traded fund rather than a giant, so trading spreads can run wider than the largest names in the category.
