VGLT Is Better Than VCLT For Your Fixed Income Position

Adding 10% equity to fixed income portfolios reveals LTT's advantage, with 10/90 Equity/LTT yielding the highest return and risk-adjusted return. The 10/90 Equity/LTT portfolio also experiences the smallest maximum drawdown, highlighting its superior performance in a mixed asset strategy.

VCLT: High Yield And Rate Sensitivity
VCLT tracks the Bloomberg U.S. 10+ Year Corporate Bond Index, managing $15.29B with a low expense ratio of 0.04% and high rate sensitivity. The fund's performance seems to have been influenced by various economic conditions and Fed policies, with significant losses in 2018 and 2022, probably due to rate hikes. Stabilizing economic conditions and potential rate cuts could improve industrial credit quality, making VCLT an attractive option.
