Which Long-Term Bond ETF Is the Better Buy: State Street’s SPLB or iShares’ TLT?

This article compares two long-term bond ETFs, State Street SPDR Portfolio Long Term Corporate Bond ETF (SPLB) and iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT), to determine which is the better investment. It highlights their differences in expense ratios, distribution yields, assets under management, and underlying holdings (corporate bonds vs. U.S. Treasuries). While TLT offers minimal default risk and high liquidity, SPLB is presented as the better buy for most long-term investors due to its lower fees, higher income, and better performance over the past five years.
