## Resource

Want your money working for you in short-term bonds? Compare VanEck’s tax-free SMB (municipal bonds) to Vanguard’s taxable VCSH (corporate bonds). SMB’s income avoids federal taxes, making it ideal for high earners; VCSH offers a higher yield but comes with tax costs. VCSH has lower fees and slightly better recent returns, but after-tax income is the real winner. Choose based on your tax bracket and risk tolerance — both are stable, but serve very different goals.
