This ETF Is Down 2.48% in 2026. Here's Why I'm Still Investing.
2026 is shaping up to be another lackluster year for bonds. But I'm sticking with this popular Vanguard bond ETF.
Overview
Bonds are not always my favorite part of investing. They don't grow like stocks. They're not exciting, unless something has gone terribly wrong in the global economy. But buying bonds is like eating your vegetables: it's good for you, and you've got to make some room on your plate. (Actually, I love eating vegetables!)
The past few years were tough for bond investors, especially 2022, when the Fed hiked interest rates and bond prices plummeted. But 2026 is looking like another down year for bonds. So far this year, the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NASDAQ: BND) is down about 2.48%.
