About this ETF
The Vanguard Short-Term Bond ETF (BSV) aims to mirror the investment performance of the Bloomberg U.S. 1–5 Year Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index. This particular benchmark is a market-capitalization-weighted fixed-income gauge that features high-quality (investment-grade) debt securities with a dollar-weighted average remaining maturity ranging from one to five years. To achieve its objective, the fund primarily allocates its capital to U.S. government bonds, top-tier corporate debt, and highly-rated international bonds denominated in U.S. dollars. All securities held within the portfolio must possess an investment-grade credit rating. The ETF employs a passive management strategy, utilizing an index sampling methodology to efficiently replicate the benchmark's characteristics.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
