MORE TOOLS TO BUILD A BOND LADDER

Kiplinger's Personal Finance

|

March 2026

THE market for exchange-traded funds that help build bond ladders is growing.

- FUND TRENDS BY DAVID MILSTEAD

Bond laddering is a popular investing technique that staggers maturities across multiple bonds, or bond ETFs, in order to create a consistent income stream and minimize the impact of interest rate swings.

Now, low-cost fund giant Vanguard has filed paperwork with regulators to launch a line of target-maturity corporate bond ETFs. They'll go up against iShares' line of iBonds, Invesco's BulletShares and State Street's MyIncome ETFs. Vanguard hopes to launch the funds in early 2026. (Investors should not confuse the firm's target maturity ETFs with its more familiar target-date funds, which are managed to become more conservative over time.)
