About VGCIX
This fund seeks to provide a moderate and sustainable level of current income by investing in a diversified portfolio of global credit bonds. The fund is actively managed and invests primarily in investment-grade corporate and non-corporate obligations, excluding government-guaranteed issues. The portfolio invests in U.S. and non-U.S. securities including developed and emerging markets. The majority of non-U.S. exposure will be hedged to the U.S. dollar. This hedging enables investors to pursue a globally-diversified credit premium without adding currency risk. Like other bond funds, the fund is subject to interest rate risk; increases in interest rates may lead the price of the bonds in the portfolio to decrease, reducing the fund’s NAV. The fund is also subject to emerging markets risk—bonds in these countries tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those in developed countries—and other international risks, such as country/regional risk. Long-term, risk-tolerant investors who want to diversify their bond portfolio may wish to consider this fund.
