2026-02-11 14:29:27 ET
The key differences between Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF ( NASDAQ:VGIT ) and Fidelity Investment Grade Bond ETF ( NYSEMKT:FIGB ) are cost, yield, portfolio breadth, and historical risk -- VGIT is cheaper and steadier, while FIGB offers a modestly higher payout and broader bond exposure.
Both VGIT and FIGB target investors seeking core U.S. fixed income exposure, but they approach it differently. VGIT focuses solely on intermediate-term U.S. Treasury bonds, while FIGB covers a broader swath of high-grade U.S. bond sectors. This comparison unpacks how each fund stacks up across cost, performance, risk, and portfolio construction.
