Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond offers a well-constructed portfolio of short-term investment-grade 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. The least expensive share classes earn Morningstar Analyst Ratings of Gold, while the admiral shares' relatively higher fee warrant a Silver rating.
