BND: A Portfolio Cornerstone
The Vanguard Total Bond Market Fund offers broad, diversified exposure to the U.S. investment-grade bond market with a very low 0.03% expense ratio and high liquidity. The fund's main risk is sensitivity to intermediate interest rates, not long-term rates or credit spreads, making it less vulnerable to deficit-driven rate spikes. BND's 4.44% yield and low volatility profile make it an attractive core holding for balanced portfolios, especially as rates remain historically high.

BND offers low-cost, low-risk, broad bond market exposure, but its real returns have been mediocre and barely outpaced inflation. The fund's heavy diversification leads to underperformance compared to more focused bond ETFs, echoing Peter Lynch's 'diworsification' warning. Current macro risks—persistent inflation and high deficits—mean BND faces significant interest rate risk, limiting its near-term upside.
