Our read on each fund
MYCKC
VBCBA
In short
MYCK Most 2031 ladder rungs just clone an index. MYCK is State Street's actively managed version: people pick the corporate bonds, and the fund is built to hand back remaining principal and wind up on or about December 15, 2031.
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.
Stated mandate
MYCK The fund seeks current income and capital preservation through an actively managed portfolio focused primarily on corporate bonds maturing in 2031.
VBCB The fund seeks to track a market-weighted index of U.S.-dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds that mature in 2028.
