How BND selects and weights its holdings
This fund aims to replicate the overall performance of a comprehensive, market-capitalization-weighted bond index. It provides extensive exposure to the U.S. domestic, taxable, investment-grade fixed-income market, specifically excluding bonds that are inflation-protected or tax-exempt. Investors can anticipate a robust potential for generating income, while also experiencing relatively modest fluctuations in its share value. The fund is particularly suitable for individuals with medium to long-term financial objectives who are seeking a consistent and reliable stream of income. Moreover, it serves as an effective tool for enhancing portfolio diversification and cushioning against the volatility typically associated with stock investments.
Today that leaves 11,434 positions across 4 sectors, with the largest at 0.9% and the top 10 at 5% of the fund. Those weights move with share prices and reset whenever the fund rebalances, so the table above changes over time.
