I choose to put money into Vanguard short term investment grade because.....
I wanted a bond fund --- but I fear long term inflation so I want the term to be limited. I like the corporate spread - and I am concerned about U S Treasuries And of course - I trust Vanguard for stewartship and low fees. Sentiment : Buy Rating :
