Summary

Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund offers a well-constructed portfolio of short-term corporate bonds at a razor-thin expense ratio. Focusing strictly on corporate bonds should position this fund to capture market rallies better than most of its Morningstar Category peers without pushing it too far into risky territory.
