Replacing Barclays iShares Bond ETFs With Vanguard's New Bond ETFs [View article]
J.D, Thanks for a good article.
According to the info on Barclay's website, SHY has a weighted average maturity of 1.87 years and an average yield to maturity of 4.8%. In the article you said that BSV has a weighted average maturity of 2.7 years and an average yield to maturity of 4.8%.
Do you think the extra risk of the longer average maturity is worth it, given the identical average yields to maturity?
