About VEDTX

Vanguard Extended Duration Treasury Index Fund Institutional Shares is a mutual fund designed to track the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury STRIPS 20–30 Year Equal Par Bond Index. The fund primarily invests in extended-duration zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities, known as Treasury STRIPS, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. These securities have maturities ranging from 20 to 30 years, providing the fund with a notably high effective duration of over 24 years, resulting in significant sensitivity to interest rate changes. The fund is structured for institutional investors, requiring a high minimum investment, and offers a low expense ratio, making it cost-effective relative to peers. Its underlying holdings consist almost exclusively of U.S. Treasury STRIPS, with no exposure to corporate credit or equity risk. This makes it a specialized tool for institutions seeking to manage long-term interest rate exposure, hedge liabilities, or align with the duration of long-dated obligations. The fund plays a significant role in the market by providing targeted exposure to long-dated government bonds, impacting sectors such as pensions, insurance, and liability-driven investing.
