Description: VUSB Ultra-Short Bond Shares

The Vanguard Ultra-Short Bond ETF (VUSB) is an actively managed fixed income fund that invests primarily in investment-grade bonds, with a focus on high-quality issuers and limited exposure to medium-quality debt. The fund targets a very short duration profile, maintaining a dollar-weighted average maturity between 0 and 2 years, and commits at least 80% of its assets to fixed income securities under normal market conditions.

As an ultrashort bond ETF, VUSB operates within the short-duration fixed income segment, which is generally used by investors as a cash alternative or to seek incremental yield with limited interest rate sensitivity. The fund launched in April 2021 and is listed on the BATS exchange.
