Not really surprising. Its performance has been great and very few active funds or any other for that matter can consistently beat its performance over time. What amazes me is I went to a higher bond allocation this year than I ever did just before the coronavirus drama started and I've had the best performance I've ever had. So all the index funds are proving their worth across the board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
