Description
The fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide current income while maintaining limited price volatility. The fund invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality and, to a lesser extent, medium-quality fixed income securities. The fund is expected to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 0 to 2 years. Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in fixed income securities. The fund is designed to give investors low-cost exposure to money market instruments and short-term high-quality bonds, including asset-backed, government, and investment-grade corporate securities. Although short-term bond funds tend to have a higher yield than money market funds, their share price fluctuates. Because the Ultra-Short Bond ETF will subject investors to principal risk, the fund shouldn’t be viewed as a substitute for a money market fund. Additionally, increases in interest rates can cause the prices of the bonds in the portfolio, and thus the fund’s share price, to decrease.The Ultra-Short Bond ETF is a stand alone product and is separate and distinct from the Vanguard Ultra-Short-Term Bond Fund (VUBFX and VUSFX). Differences in scale, certain investment processes, and underlying holdings are expected to produce different investment returns by the funds.
