Vanguard Unveils Government Bond-Focused ETFs
Vanguard this week launched Vanguard Government Securities Active ETF (VGVT), an actively managed ETF, and two index ETFs, Vanguard Total Treasury ETF (VTG) and Vanguard Total Inflation-Protected Securities ETF (VTP), all managed by Vanguard Fixed Income Group.
“The actively managed VGVT leverages our fixed income expertise to deliver a flexible, high-quality portfolio of U.S. government and agency bonds, along with select securitized credit,” said Roger Hallam, global head of Rates, Vanguard Fixed Income Group. “VGVT is built to serve as a resilient core bond holding—one that adapts to changing market conditions while preserving the diversification and risk-buffering qualities investors expect from Treasuries. It’s a compelling option for those seeking to balance equity exposure and pursue long-term portfolio stability through active management.”
VGVT seeks to outperform the broad Treasury market while maintaining the diversification benefits that Treasuries offer. VGVT’s expense ratio is 0.10% and marks the eight active ETF in Vanguard’s bond line-up.
The launch of VTG, VTP and VGVT brings the total number of fixed-income bond ETFs offered by Vanguard Fixed Income Group to 36, of which 28 are index.
