BSCADINVESCO BULLETSHARES 2036 CORPORATE BOND ETF

VBCCAVanguard Target Maturity 2029 Corporate Bond ETF

In short

BSCA The far rung of Invesco's BulletShares ladder: a couple hundred investment-grade corporate bonds that all effectively mature in 2036, inside a fund that winds up and pays out cash on or about December 15, 2036.

VBCC Vanguard's version of a single rung on a bond ladder: investment-grade corporates that all mature in 2029, wrapped in an ETF at 0.08% a year, under the typical fee in the target-maturity aisle.

Stated mandate

BSCA The fund seeks to track a portfolio of U.S.-dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds that mature effectively in 2036.

VBCC The fund seeks to follow a market-weighted index of U.S.-dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds scheduled to mature in 2029.

Why people hold it

  • BSCA Real end date: the fund terminates on or about December 15, 2036 and pays its net assets out in cash, giving a maturity date most bond funds never offer.sec.gov
  • Fee runs 0.10%, level with the typical target-maturity corporate bond ETF and the same sticker Invesco puts on shorter rungs like BSCR.
  • Callable bonds are slotted by effective maturity (when the issuer is likely to call), so the basket is built around cash coming back near the target year.sec.gov
  • A ladder piece by design: stack several BulletShares years and you set your own rungs, with this one marking the roughly ten-year end of the line.sec.gov
  • VBCC At 0.08% a year it undercuts the target-maturity median and the established 2029 corporate rungs from iShares (IBDU) and Invesco (BSCT), both at 0.10%.
  • Every bond in the index is scheduled to mature in 2029, so the portfolio has an end date instead of rolling on forever like a standard bond fund.
  • Investment-grade US dollar corporates, market-weighted. No high-yield sleeve, no manager leaning on favorite issuers.
  • Stacks up among the stronger builds in a crowded target-maturity field, on the back of low cost and a straightforward investment-grade portfolio.

Worth knowing

  • BSCA The final payout is whatever the portfolio is worth. Invesco states the fund does not seek to distribute any predetermined amount of cash at maturity.sec.gov
  • A 2036 bullet carries about a decade of interest-rate and corporate credit exposure before that cash distribution arrives.
  • Launched in 2026, it is still small and thinly traded next to the long-established short rungs, so bid-ask spreads can run wider.
  • VBCC Launched in 2026, so live history is short and it trades less actively than the long-running iShares and Invesco ladders. Limit orders matter more here.
  • Corporate credit, not Treasuries. An investment-grade issuer can still be downgraded or miss a payment, and a 2029 maturity date does not erase that.
  • Income is paid quarterly, so cash arrives four times a year rather than monthly.
