Both are intermediate bond funds. VGIT is only treasuries and BND has exposure to a bit over a third in corporate, investment grade. The corporates have more risk, but will offer a slightly higher return for it. The SEC Yield is about a percent higher with BND, but has some risk of corporate default. It holds ~9400 bonds though, so it would take widespread defaults to have much impact. I use AGG for my whole bond position, very similar to BND. I picked it mostly because I could buy it free at Fidelity back when buying BND would have had trading costs. Doesn’t apply anymore.
