Both VGIT and FIGB are core U.S. bond funds suited to investors seeking income and relative stability, but their approaches and cost structures set them apart. This comparison unpacks which fund may appeal more, depending on an investor’s priorities around cost, risk, yield, and breadth of bond exposure.
