Our read on each fund
MYCHD
VBCBA

MYCH Most bond-ladder rungs are index trackers. MYCH is a rung with a driver: an actively managed basket of corporate bonds maturing in 2028, paying monthly, then handing back remaining principal and closing around December 15, 2028.
VBCB Vanguard finally showed up to the bond-ladder party. VBCB owns U.S. investment-grade corporate bonds that all mature in 2028, and it undercuts the typical target-maturity rung on fees.
