Description: BSV Short-Term Bond Shares January 28, 2026
The Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund ETF (BSV) tracks an index of publicly issued U.S. government, investment-grade corporate, and investment-grade international dollar-denominated bonds with maturities from 1 to 5 years. The fund employs a sampling methodology, aiming to hold at least 80 % of its assets in securities that are constituents of the index.
Key up-to-date metrics (as of Q4 2025):
• Expense ratio: 0.04 % – among the lowest in the short-term bond space, supporting net-return efficiency.
• Weighted average maturity: 2.8 years, giving the fund a modest interest-rate sensitivity (duration ≈ 2.5 years).
• 30-day SEC yield: 4.62 % (annualized), reflecting the current level of short-term Treasury and corporate yields after the Federal Reserve’s last rate hike cycle.
• Assets under management (AUM): ≈ $65 billion, indicating strong investor demand for low-volatility income.
These figures are subject to change with market conditions; for instance, a shift in the Fed’s policy rate would directly affect both yield and duration exposure.
