I have a moderately aggressive portfolio with the given voo small companies and international companies in my portfolio. I have been up 10% since I’ve created my account in October 2025(less than a year which is great returns) but I’ve noticed I have 2 bonds which are ISTB/AGG but I haven’t gotten any gains from them. Why would acorns do this? I’ve heard it’s to protect your investment when stocks crash or a recession happens but I haven’t gotten any gains from my bonds at all since October of 2025. So my question is what’s the point of these bonds given by acorn?
