Vanguard Intermediate -term Government Bond Etf ETF Company Profile

Description

The investment seeks to track the performance of a market-weighted government bond index with an intermediate-term dollar-weighted average maturity.

This index includes fixed income securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities, as well as corporate or dollar-denominated foreign debt guaranteed by the U.S. government, with maturities between 3 and 10 years. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund's assets will be invested in bonds included in the index.
