Vanguard records indicate the following as the 10-Year "Average Annual Return" as follows for the four bond index funds I purchased in November 2015:
Total BondVBTLX1.82%
Interm TermVFIDX2.91%
Short TermVFSUX2.33%
Int'l Fund VTABX2.15%
Average 2.30%
Bond investments continue to confuse me. Simply stated, has the growth in my bond investments been (on average) just over 2% per year? Seems like a mediocre return, but is similar to the benchmarks for the various bond classes.
