Description: VMBS Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund ETF (VMBS) employs a passive indexing strategy designed to track the Bloomberg U.S. MBS Float Adjusted Index, which measures the performance of U.S. agency mortgage-backed pass-through securities. To qualify for index inclusion, securities must have pool aggregates of at least $1 billion currently outstanding and a weighted average maturity of at least one year. The fund uses a sampling process for security selection, with at least 80% of its assets invested in bonds held within the underlying index.

As an ETF in the Government Mortgage-Backed Bond category, VMBS provides investors with exposure to securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, primarily the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). Mortgage-backed securities represent claims on the cash flows from pools of home loans, and the inclusion of at least 80% of holdings in the underlying index helps keep portfolio risk and return closely aligned with the broader U.S. agency MBS market.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Fed rate cuts compress MBS yields and tighten spreads
  • Fed balance sheet runoff reduces MBS demand and lifts spreads
  • Rising mortgage rates slow prepayments and extend duration
