About this ETF
VMSB aims for high current income and long-term capital appreciation. The fund actively invests in income-producing bonds, which may include corporate and government bonds, including from emerging markets, loans, asset-backed securities, and money market instruments. The fund has broad flexibility across debt instruments and derivatives, and its average duration generally ranges from 0 to 10 years, based on an interest rate risk profile. Securities may be of any credit quality. The fund can use various trading strategies, such as delayed delivery, forward commitment (including TBA trades), buy backs, and dollar rolls. It can invest in derivatives for hedging, tactical allocation, or to enhance returns. Management of the portfolio combines top-down macroeconomic views with bottom-up analysis, considering sector allocation, security selection, duration, and yield curve positioning. The team utilizes proprietary research, quantitative models, stress testing, and ongoing risk management.

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.
