About VEDIX
The Vanguard Extended Duration Treasury Index Fund Institutional Plus Shares is a mutual fund focused on tracking the performance of an index comprising extended-duration zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities. Its primary objective is to mirror the returns of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury STRIPS 20–30 Year Equal Par Bond Index, which consists of U.S. Treasury STRIPS with maturities ranging from 20 to 30 years. This index is comprised solely of U.S. government-backed securities, offering minimal credit risk while exposing the fund to significant interest rate risk due to the long duration of its holdings. The fund targets institutional investors, as evidenced by its high minimum investment requirement. It maintains a low expense ratio—0.04% for this share class—helping to enhance net returns for investors. With nearly all assets invested in U.S. Treasury bonds and virtually no allocation to equities or corporate bonds, it plays a specialized role in the market as a tool for managing long-term interest rate exposure and hedging against long-duration liabilities. The fund's performance is highly sensitive to interest rate fluctuations, making it a significant vehicle for institutions looking to match long-dated obligations or gain targeted exposure to U.S. government securities.
