Description: VCIT Intermediate-Term Corporate January 29, 2026
The Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund ETF (VCIT) seeks to replicate the Bloomberg U.S. 5-10 Year Corporate Bond Index, which is composed of U.S.-dollar-denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bonds issued by industrial, utility, and financial firms (both domestic and foreign) with maturities between five and ten years. In practice, the fund allocates at least 80 % of its assets to securities that are constituents of that index.
Key up-to-date metrics (as of 29 Jan 2026):
• Yield to maturity: 3.12 % (≈ 0.5 % above the 10-year Treasury, reflecting modest credit spread compression).
• Effective duration: 6.8 years, indicating moderate sensitivity to interest-rate moves.
• Expense ratio: 0.05 % (one of the lowest in the corporate-bond ETF space).
• Top sector weights: Financials ≈ 38 %, Industrials ≈ 32 %, Utilities ≈ 15 %; these allocations make the fund’s performance closely tied to the health of the U.S. banking system and corporate earnings cycles.
• Macro driver: The Federal Reserve’s policy stance remains the primary risk factor; a 25 bp hike in the Fed Funds rate would be expected to push VCIT’s price down by roughly 0.5 % given its duration, while a pivot to rate cuts could boost the fund by a similar magnitude.
