BIV

Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF

An exchange-traded fund that offers broad exposure to the U.S. investment-grade bond market, holding thousands of individual issues that span government bonds, corporate debt, and mortgage-backed securities. It aims to mirror a widely followed benchmark of taxable U.S. bonds. Its ticker, BND, is a simple nod to "bond," and the fund holds such a huge, diverse portfolio that it samples the market rather than buying every bond.
