VTES Dividend FAQ
The Vanguard Short-Term Tax-Exempt Bond ETF (VTES) seeks to track a short-duration municipal bond index by **sampling** the index rather than holding every constituent. Through this method it captures the index’s key risk factors-such as average credit quality, sector weightings, and duration-while keeping the portfolio size manageable. The fund is classified as **non-diversified**, meaning it holds fewer than 40 securities and therefore may exhibit higher idiosyncratic risk than a fully diversified muni fund.
