Our read on each fund
MYCLF
VBCBA
In short
MYCL A corporate bond fund with an expiration date: it holds bonds maturing in 2032, then winds up around December 15, 2032 and pays out what is left. The twist is that State Street runs this rung actively rather than by index rulebook.
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
MYCL The fund uses an actively managed target-maturity strategy focused primarily on corporate bonds maturing in 2032, with liquidation planned around December 15, 2032 after distributing remaining principal.
VBCB The fund seeks to track a market-weighted index of U.S.-dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds that mature in 2028.
