iShares or Vanguard: Which Intermediate Corporate Bond ETF Is the Better Buy for Income Investors?

iShares 5-10 Year Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (IGIB) and Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCIT) offer nearly identical exposure to investment-grade corporate bonds with 5-10 year maturities. Both funds provide 4.9% dividend yields and similar performance, with VCIT having a slight cost advantage at 0.03% expense ratio versus IGIB's 0.04%. The choice between them is unlikely to significantly impact long-term results, making the decision primarily based on accessibility and personal preference.
