Investing - Theory, News & General • question re VBTLX

There seems to be a lot of doubt in my mind and perhaps on this forum about bond funds especially since 2022. Is VBTLX still the gold standard for Bogleheads using the simple 3 or 4 fund portfolio, INCLUDING during decumulation? I like the simplicity of the 4 fund portfolio. I've tried looking at TIPS ladders and my eyes start to glaze over. Statistics: Posted by brian2013 — Fri Jun 19, 2026 8:48 am
