Which iShares Bond ETF Is the Better Buy: Treasury-Focused IEI or Corporate IGIB?

The article compares two iShares bond ETFs: IEI (Treasury-focused) and IGIB (Corporate bonds). IGIB offers lower fees (0.04% vs 0.15%) and higher yields (4.90% vs 3.70%), but carries greater volatility with a 20.60% maximum drawdown over five years. IEI provides more stability and true equity diversification with only a 13.90% drawdown. The choice depends on investor priorities: IEI for stability and risk reduction, IGIB for income and cost efficiency.
