FXNAX vs BND
Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund against Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF: 4 years of returns, risk and today’s technical read, from Kavout’s own data.
BND did better over the period: $1,000 invested on October 28, 2022 grew to $1,161, versus $1,093 for FXNAX—a 16.1% gain versus 9.3%. BND also led across the latest 1-, 3-, and 6-month periods, YTD, 1 year, and 3 years, winning 36 of the last 48 months. The advantage likely reflects its broader bond-market exposure and very low 0.03% expense ratio, although the typical monthly gap was modest at 0.15 points. Risk was nearly identical: 12-month volatility was 4.0% for BND and 3.9% for FXNAX, while worst drawdowns were -7.2% and -7.5%, respectively. Their daily returns were highly correlated at 0.964, so BND’s stronger results came with very little additional measured risk.
