Description: VGSH Short-Term Treasury Shares

Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Index Fund ETF Shares (VGSH) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that tracks the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 1-3 Year Index. The fund invests in U.S. Treasury fixed income securities with maturities between one and three years, excluding inflation-protected securities, floating rate notes, and certain other security types. At least 80% of the funds assets are held in bonds included in the underlying index.

The fund operates within the short-duration government bond segment of the fixed income market, offering investors exposure to short-term U.S. sovereign debt through an indexing approach. Listed on NASDAQ since November 2009, VGSH is classified as a Short Government ETF and is structured to provide low-cost, transparent access to a narrow maturity range of Treasury securities.
