The Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund ETF (VMBS) tracks the Bloomberg U.S. MBS Float Adjusted Index, which comprises agency pass-through securities from GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC. The fund uses a sampling methodology to replicate the index, with at least 80% of assets allocated to securities that meet the index’s size (≥ $1 billion) and maturity (≥ 1 year) criteria.
As of February 2026, VMBS holds roughly $12 billion in assets under management, delivers a 30-day SEC yield of about 2.3%, and maintains an average duration of 3.5 years, positioning it to benefit from the Federal Reserve’s current policy stance that keeps short-term rates near 5.25%. The ETF’s expense ratio remains low at 0.05%, and its weighted-average coupon tracks the broader agency MBS market, which has been supported by steady housing starts and a modestly rising home-price index.
