The iShares National Muni Bond ETF (MUB) and iShares 3-7 Year Treasury Bond ETF (IEI) offer exposure to government bonds with different cost, yield, performance, and risk profiles. IEI has a higher expense ratio but delivers a slightly higher yield and one-year return than MUB. However, MUB holds significantly more assets, making it a broader investment with a higher AUM. IEI focuses on U.S. Treasury bonds with minimal credit risk, while MUB invests in municipal bonds exempt from U.S. income tax and the AMT. Investors should consider the tax exemptions and volatility trade-offs between the two ETFs.
