VSGDX- Short Term Federal Fund. Compare it to other short term bond funds as far as performance, credit & interest risk, and duration.

I would consider Vanguard's short term investment grade, short term corporate bond, ultra short term or any Treasury/federal short term fund. Take a look at credit risk, duration and ER and choose what credit risk and duration you want. I think they also have a short term index fund that has about 50/50 treasuries/corporate bonds mix that I would consider.
