The Vanguard Long-Term Bond Index Fund ETF Shares (BLV) is a U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund launched on April 3, 2007, that seeks to track the performance of a long-duration bond index. The underlying index comprises medium and larger issues of U.S. government bonds, investment-grade corporate bonds, and investment-grade U.S. dollar-denominated international bonds, all with maturities greater than 10 years. Rather than holding every security in the index, the fund uses a sampling strategy, committing at least 80% of its assets to bonds represented in the benchmark. As an exchange-traded fund, BLV trades on an exchange like a stock while providing diversified exposure to long-maturity fixed income securities, a segment typically favored by investors seeking higher yields in exchange for greater interest rate sensitivity.
