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 NVG?

NVG's strategy (current expense ratio 3.64%) is different from a broad-market index tracker like VOO, so its fee belongs to a different cohort.
