Well they are major bond classes so I monitor them. Generally munis only work well for certain tax situations and I rarely invest in them. I’m a fan of investment grade ST corporates however. I’ve held VCSH for a very long time. A little more risk, yep. A huge risk jump over STTs, nope. Compare the CAGR of vcsh vs vgsh for the past 5 years. Individuals will have to determine if the risk reward is for them.
