How To Do Better Than 5.5% Yielding VCLT

VCLT offers broad exposure to long-term investment-grade corporate bonds with a 0.03% expense ratio and a 5.5% yield to maturity. VCLT's performance closely tracks its benchmark, making outperformance unlikely due to its diversified 2,400-bond portfolio and minimal fees. Selective bond picking, such as GL.PR.D from Globe Life can deliver higher yields - 6.7% YTM for BBB+ credit - than VCLT's average.
