Why BLV Is Outclassed By Long-Term Treasury Funds
Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index Fund ETF Shares tracks the Bloomberg U.S. Long Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index, offering diversified exposure to long-term, investment-grade U.S. bonds with 10+ years to maturity. BLV holds a roughly 50/50 mix of corporate and government bonds, plus minor municipal and cash holdings, as per Seeking Alpha. VGIT is preferred over BLV for fixed income positions due to its lower correlation with equities, enhancing portfolio stability.

BLV: Long-Term Treasuries May Stay Under Pressure For A While
The macro landscape for long-term bonds is tricky these days. Given the extreme political and fiscal uncertainty, I don't expect any meaningful appreciation of long-term bonds as long as the US is not in a recession. I'm neutral on the BLV for now, but there are still reasons to be optimistic in the longer term.
