11 Biggest Fixed Income ETFs in the US

6. Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCSH)

Assets under management: $20.11 billion;

VCSH is one of the biggest fixed income ETFs in the US. It competes in the short term corporate investment grade segment and has an $80 closing price (70/28/2017). This means that it primarily focuses on fixed-rate corporate bonds that need one to five years to mature. Although the purpose of VCSH is to provide regular income with modest risks and price fluctuations, it can be very sensitive to interest-rate changes. Vanguard traditionally offers very low holding and trading costs and an expense ratio that is 91% lower than all other funds that compete in this segment.
