MYCODState Street My2035 Corporate Bond ETF

VBCBAVanguard Target Maturity 2028 Corporate Bond ETF

In short

MYCO Most 2035 bond rungs are index ladders. MYCO is the hand-built one: an actively managed basket of corporate bonds all maturing in 2035, chosen sector by sector and issuer by issuer.

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

MYCO The fund actively manages a portfolio primarily of corporate bonds maturing in 2035. It seeks current income and capital preservation through top-down sector allocation and bottom-up issuer and security research.

VBCB The fund seeks to track a market-weighted index of U.S.-dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds that mature in 2028.

Why people hold it

  • MYCO Active in an aisle built mostly from index trackers: top-down sector allocation, bottom-up issuer and security research, measured against the ICE 2035 Maturity US Corporate Index.ssga.com
  • The holdings share a maturity year, so the portfolio winds down on a known calendar rather than rolling forever like a standard corporate bond fund.ssga.com
  • Stated goals are current income and capital preservation, with a monthly income policy and roughly 100 corporate bonds spreading the issuer risk.
  • VBCB Charges 0.08% a year, below the 0.10% typical for target-maturity bond funds and below the iBonds and BulletShares rungs (IBDU, BSCT, BSCU) it lines up against.
  • Every bond in the index is dollar-denominated investment grade maturing in 2028: one rung of a bond ladder in one ticker, with income paid quarterly.
  • A plain market-weighted ICE index run through Vanguard's index plumbing, and one of the stronger builds in the target-maturity bond group.

Worth knowing

  • MYCO 0.15% a year sits above the target-maturity median. The big index rungs charge less (IBDU and BSCT at 0.10%, VBCB at 0.08%). That gap is the price of the active seat.
  • A 2025 launch, small and thinly traded: spreads can run wider than the category's giants, and there is little live history to judge the managers on.
  • This is corporate credit with a long runway. Values move with interest rates and credit spreads for years before those 2035 bonds come due.
  • VBCB Launched in 2026 and still small, it trades thinly, so spreads can run wider than on the long-established corporate ladders.
  • Corporate credit, not Treasuries. Investment grade lowers the odds of trouble, but downgrades and defaults stay in the mix.
  • One maturity year, not a whole curve. This is a rung, not a stand-in for a broad bond fund.
