About VBMPX

The primary objective of this fund is to offer extensive access to high-quality U.S. debt instruments. To meet this goal, the portfolio is constructed from a variety of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities, encompassing a full range of durations including short, intermediate, and long maturities. As with other fixed-income funds, a notable risk is that an uptick in interest rates may cause the market value of the underlying bonds to fall, thereby diminishing the fund's net asset value (NAV). Due to its broad diversification across different bond market segments and maturity profiles, investors may consider this fund a foundational component of their bond holdings.
