Investment Thesis

AGG is the definitive benchmark for US investment-grade fixed income. Holding over 10,000 bonds across Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate debt, it delivers broad bond market exposure at just 0.03% expense ratio. Its size makes it the standard fixed income core for virtually every institutional and individual portfolio worldwide.

Who It's For

Conservative investors, retirees, and anyone building a traditional 60/40 balanced portfolio. Ideal as the fixed income anchor alongside a broad equity fund like VTI or SPY. Best suited for investors seeking capital preservation, income, and low correlation to equities during market downturns.
