Description: VGUS Ultra-Short Treasury

The Vanguard Ultra-Short Treasury ETF (VGUS) employs a passive indexing approach designed to replicate the performance of a target index composed of U.S. Treasury fixed income securities with maturities of up to 12 months. The index excludes inflation-protected securities, floating rate notes, and certain other security types. Under normal circumstances, the fund commits at least 80% of its assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, to the bonds comprising the benchmark index.

As an ultrashort bond ETF, VGUS focuses on the shortest segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve, resulting in low interest rate sensitivity relative to longer-duration fixed income products. The underlying securities are direct obligations of the U.S. government, backed by its full faith and credit, and are generally considered among the lowest credit-risk instruments in the domestic fixed income market.
