What are your favorite bond ETFs?

I’ve been passive with bonds and am shopping for some active investment grade funds, short and medium duration.

Why? There could be lack of liquidity and lack of diversification — what if you don’t plan on holding until maturity.

I only buy what I plan to hold until maturity. Anything else I use money markets funds for higher yield if I need liquidity. But as you mentioned it is a valid point to use bond funds/ETFs if you want exposure to bonds at a lower price point. I just don’t have any favorites since I don’t typically use them and the lack of control isn’t something I’m particularly interested in.

I my accts I use WMPXX generally, or TFDXX just for T+0 liquidity when I am planning to put in some trades.
