Q: Do you have a preference between XBB and VAB?

Thanks as always
Asked by Roman on March 27, 2025
5i Research Answer:

We are largely indifferent. XBB is larger, and has marginally higher fees than VAB. But over five years it has also slightly outperformed it. Yields and duration are essentially the same.
