Fund Details
Investment Thesis
The Agg is the default definition of 'bonds' in every 60/40 conversation, and SCHZ delivers it for three basis points — tied for the cheapest core bond fund anywhere. With yields above 4%, the asset class finally does its textbook job again: real income now, and price gains if the economy rolls over. One fund, whole bond market, monthly payout; the boring backbone done right.
Who It's For
The set-and-forget bond allocation for diversified portfolios — anyone who wants the entire investment-grade US bond market without choosing between Treasury, corporate and mortgage funds.
