Would the vanguard ginnie mae fund fit this bill? Is there much risk? Pays 2.4%, 3.4 duration

Low risk from your duration and the explicit government guarantee but there is no upside in price anymore and you're only picking up 2.4%. Any investment grade corporate bond fund would do you better over the next couple years.
