I predict a recession due to high-interest rates and suggest three ETFs to own in this scenario: SGOV, VCIT, and VT. SGOV is a low-risk treasury bond ETF with a high yield, VCIT holds intermediate-term corporate bonds with a high yield and potential for capital appreciation, and VT tracks the global stock market. These ETFs can be beneficial whether used individually or together, depending on an investor's risk tolerance and investment duration.

An ETF's spread is the difference between the price at which investors can buy the fund on the exchange and the price at which it can't be sold. For sure, an ETF's spread is important, especially for shorter holding periods.

The Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund ETF (VCIT) offers a high yield and potential for appreciation. VCIT holds intermediate-term investment-grade corporate bonds, offering a low volatility way to take advantage of a slowing economy and potential recession. I rate VCIT a Buy, as it provides a good asset to own before and during a recession.
