VSGDX vs. SHY?

Post by fnord123 »

Has anybody looked at VSGDX as a replacement for SHY? 

ER: 0.10% vs. 0.15%
Yield: 0.7% vs. 0.36%
Avg. duration: 2.2y vs. 1.83y

Seems like VSGDX is only slightly longer duration, but significantly better yield and slightly better ER.  Thoughts?

Not just longer duration, but it also holds agency/mortgage stuff, right?
