Its portfolio primarily consists of debt instruments from corporations and various government bodies (both domestic and international), mortgage-backed securities, and cash. The fund also retains the flexibility to invest in fixed-income securities issued by companies and governments situated outside the United States. Crucially, at least 80% of its total assets will be invested in bonds and other debt instruments, a definition that encompasses cash equivalents and specific preferred securities. The fund may also utilize derivative instruments, such as futures contracts and swap agreements, to represent underlying investments. Finally, up to 5% of the fund's assets may be allocated to common stocks, warrants, or rights, but only if these equity holdings are obtained from the sale of associated debt securities or via debt-for-equity exchanges. ### What is the expense ratio of CGCB?

CGCB's current duration is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website. ### What is the credit quality of CGCB? CGCB's credit quality breakdown (the share of holdings rated AAA through CCC and below) is published on the fund's factsheet. Higher-quality (investment-grade) funds yield less but carry less default risk than high-yield / junk bond funds. ### What is the yield to maturity of CGCB? Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return you'd earn from CGCB if every bond in the portfolio is held to maturity at the current price. CGCB's YTM is published on the fund's factsheet on the issuer's website.

CGCB's strategy (current expense ratio 0.27%) is different from a broad-market index tracker like VOO, so its fee belongs to a different cohort.
