The iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (NYSEMKT: AGG) is one of the biggest exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on the bond market. AGG has over $126 billion in total assets under management (AUM). That puts it right behind the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF, which leads with over $129 billion in AUM.
Investing in bonds (either directly or indirectly through ETFs like AGG) helps investors build a more diversified portfolio and generate income, which helps lower risk. Here's a look at how much an investment of $1,000 in AGG could turn into in the future and why investors would want to consider investing in a bond ETF.
