FIGB Offers Higher Yield Than IEI With Broader Bond Mix but Lower 1-Year Return
2026-02-08 15:51:03 ET
The iShares 3-7 Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:IEI) and Fidelity Investment Grade Bond ETF (NYSEMKT:FIGB) differ in both cost and portfolio makeup, with FIGB delivering a higher yield and broader credit exposure but at a higher ongoing fee and with more pronounced historical drawdowns.
IEI is designed for investors seeking exposure to intermediate-term U.S. Treasury bonds, offering a straightforward government-backed profile. In contrast, FIGB targets those looking for a single fund solution to investment-grade U.S. bonds, including both government and high-quality corporate issuers. This comparison highlights how these differences play out in cost, performance, risk, and holdings.
