Description: VGSH Short-Term Treasury Shares December 17, 2025
The Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Index Fund ETF (VGSH) uses a passive indexing strategy to replicate the Bloomberg US Treasury 1-3 Year Index, which holds non-inflation-protected U.S. Treasury securities with maturities between one and three years. By law, at least 80 % of its assets must be invested in the index constituents, ensuring tight tracking error.
Key metrics as of the latest reporting period: expense ratio ≈ 0.05 % (among the lowest in the short-government space), weighted-average maturity ≈ 2.0 years, and a Bloomberg-calculated duration of roughly 2.0 years, making the fund highly sensitive to changes in the Federal Reserve’s policy rate. The fund’s yield to maturity has hovered around 4.5 % in the current high-rate environment, and assets under management exceed $30 billion, reflecting strong investor demand for low-risk, liquid cash-equivalents.
