BLV - Vanguard Long-Term Bond ETF: A Safe 2.5%-Yielding Bond Fund To Own In The Near Term
ETF Overview
Vanguard Long-Term Bond ETF (BLV) focuses on long-term U.S. treasuries and investment-grade corporate bonds in the United States. Although the fund has considerable interest rate risk given its portfolio's long average duration to maturity, this risk is low given the fact that the Federal Reserve is not going to raise its key interest rate anytime soon unless COVID-19 can be contained quickly. In the meantime, investors can earn some income as BLV offers an average yield to maturity of 2.5%.
