The Lehman Aggregate Bond Index, now known as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, primarily includes bonds issued by the United States. It encompasses a variety of fixed-income securities such as U.S. Treasury bonds, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. While the index focuses on the U.S. market, it does not include bonds from other countries.
Barclays acquired the Lehman index business in November 2008 and rebranded it to their own name. So the Lehman Global Aggregate index is now the Barclays Global Aggregate index. While it is certainly possible that they will adjust their methodology in the future, is is the same index, and the returns prior to the transition are unaffected.

You could consider the iShares Lehman Aggregate Bond Fund (AGG), an exchange traded fund (ETF) managed by Barclays that "seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the total United States investment grade bond market as defined by the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index." At 0.20%, the fund expenses are low compared to a traditional mutual fund. You can find more information on ETFs using tools such as the Fidelity Fund Screener (see Related Links).
