Vanguard Expands Fixed Income Model Portfolio Lineup
Vanguard is expanding its lineup of dynamic asset allocation fixed income model portfolios for advisors.
The two new model portfolios, Vanguard Fixed Income Capital Preservation and Vanguard Fixed Income Active Total Return, will leverage fixed income to meet clients’ needs, Vanguard says.
“Fixed income remains a cornerstone of a well-diversified portfolio, and with our newest launch of fixed income asset allocation models, we’re giving financial advisors the tools to manage this essential component with precision and efficiency,” said Amma Boateng, managing director of Financial Advisor Services at Vanguard. “Streamlining investment manager research, portfolio construction, and portfolio monitoring through model portfolios empowers advisors to spend more time strengthening client relationships and growing their business.”
The additions to Vanguard’s model portfolio lineup come on the heels of the introduction of Vanguard’s first two fixed income models in May 2025, the Vanguard Fixed Income Risk Diversification model portfolio and the Vanguard Fixed Income Total Return model portfolio. Today’s additions, Vanguard Fixed Income Capital Preservation and Vanguard Fixed Income Active Total Return, further expand Vanguard’s suite of model portfolio solutions for financial advisors.
The Vanguard Fixed Income Capital Preservation model aims to safeguard capital while generating modest returns, with a focus on minimizing volatility, while the Vanguard Fixed Income Active Total Return model combines “higher quality global bonds with high-yield bonds for an actively managed fixed income portfolio that seeks to outperform a passive benchmark,” Vanguard states.
