Introduction
The purpose of this post is to demonstrate the YTD performance of domestic and international stocks and bonds by comparing various Vanguard index funds. As demonstrated by the graphs, bonds have been significantly more stable than stocks. Additionally, international bonds are currently outperforming U.S. bonds as well as U.S. and international stocks. I will continue to track the progress of these index funds in future posts.
