Description: VUSB Ultra-Short Bond Shares January 09, 2026
The Vanguard Ultra-Short Bond ETF (VUSB) seeks to hold a diversified mix of high-quality (and to a lesser extent, medium-quality) fixed-income securities, targeting a dollar-weighted average maturity (DWAM) of 0-2 years. By design, at least 80 % of its assets are allocated to fixed-income instruments, keeping interest-rate exposure very low.
Key quantitative metrics (as of the latest reporting period) include an expense ratio of 0.10 %, a weighted-average credit rating of A-, and a 30-day SEC yield of roughly 4.6 %. The fund’s assets under management sit near US$ 5 billion, reflecting strong investor demand for cash-equivalent, low-duration exposure.
Economic drivers that most directly affect VUSB’s performance are short-term interest-rate moves and the Fed’s policy stance. In a rising-rate environment, the ultra-short duration buffers price volatility, while tightening credit spreads can enhance yield without materially increasing risk.
Sector-level exposure is concentrated in investment-grade corporate paper, agency securities, and Treasury bills, providing a blend of credit and liquidity that typically outperforms pure cash holdings in a low-rate backdrop.
