About

Broad US aggregate bond index. Investment-grade corporate + government bonds.

+Portfolio duration 6+ years captures yield advantage if rates fall; curve steepening benefits intermediate bonds
+Broad diversification across Treasuries, corporates, MBS reduces concentration risk vs single-sector bonds
+Rising rate environment cycles eventually; AGG positioned for rebound as peak rates potentially reached
+Ultra-low expense ratio 0.03% minimizes drag; $710B+ AUM ensures liquidity and tracking precision

-Sticky inflation (3%+) and hawkish Fed forward guidance threaten continued bond repricing downward
-Duration extension risk if rates stabilize 4.5%+; portfolio loses rally potential; yield curve remains inverted
-Credit spread risk with recessionary tail risk; corporate bond allocation (~30%) exposed to downgrades
-Negative real yields persist; real return compensation inadequate vs equity risk premium; opportunity cost rising
