About this fund
Fund objectives
Vanguard Core-Plus Bond Index ETF seeks to track the performance of a broad, market-weighted bond index.
Why this fund
- Seeks to track the investment results of the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Float Adjusted Index, which measures the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated, taxable bonds that are rated either investment-grade or high-yield.
- Utilizes an optimized sampling indexing strategy to achieve the fund's investment objective.
- Provides portfolio diversification and ballast with a moderate to high level of current income.
The Vanguard Core-Plus Bond Index ETF is a stand alone product and is separate and distinct from the Vanguard Core-Plus Bond ETF (VPLS) and the Vanguard Core-Plus Bond Fund (VCPIX and VCPAX). Differences in scale, certain investment processes, and underlying holdings are expected to produce different investment returns by the funds.
