About VCPSX

Vanguard STAR Core-Plus Bond Fund Institutional Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on providing total return and delivering a moderate to high level of current income. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed income securities including U.S. investment-grade bonds, but it also allows for selective exposure to below-investment-grade bonds and debt securities from international issuers. Its holdings span a range of maturities, credit qualities, and sectors, encompassing corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury obligations, government and agency securities, as well as mortgage- and asset-backed securities. By maintaining at least 80% of its assets in various types of bonds, the fund aims to balance income generation with prudent risk management and broad market exposure. With a significant number of holdings and a large asset base, it plays a notable role in institutional and retirement portfolios seeking core-plus bond exposure within the fixed income market.
