Investment Summary

📎 Investment Objective

The Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF seeks to track the performance of an index that measures the investment return of intermediate-term U.S. Treasury bonds.

🎯 Investment Strategy

The ETF invests in a portfolio of intermediate-term U.S. Treasury bonds, which are debt securities issued by the U.S. government and backed by its full faith and credit. The fund's portfolio is designed to provide exposure to the overall U.S. Treasury market, with a focus on intermediate-term maturities.

✨ Key Features

  • Exposure to intermediate-term U.S. Treasury bonds
  • Seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Treasury Bond Index
  • Low-cost, passively managed index fund
  • Diversified portfolio of U.S. government debt securities

⚠️ Primary Risks

  • Interest rate risk: The value of the fund's holdings may decline due to increases in interest rates
  • Credit risk: The risk that the U.S. government may not be able to make timely payments on its debt obligations
  • Liquidity risk: The potential difficulty in selling intermediate-term Treasury bonds during times of market stress
  • Reinvestment risk: The risk that future proceeds from the fund's investments may have to be reinvested at a potentially lower interest rate

👤 Best For

The Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF may be suitable for investors seeking exposure to high-quality, intermediate-term U.S. government debt as part of a diversified fixed-income portfolio. It may be particularly appealing to conservative investors looking for a relatively low-risk, low-cost option for their fixed-income allocation.
