About VLGIX

Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Index Fund Institutional Shares is a mutual fund that seeks to track the performance of a broad, market-weighted index of long-term U.S. Treasury securities. This fund invests primarily in Treasury bonds with maturities greater than 10 years, providing investors exposure to the long-duration segment of the U.S. government bond market. Its portfolio is composed almost entirely of U.S. Treasury securities, all rated AAA, ensuring high credit quality and minimal credit risk. The fund is structured to closely follow the Bloomberg Barclays US Long Treasury Bond Index, offering a diversified basket of government bonds while maintaining a low expense ratio, ranked among the lowest in its peer group. The fund distributes income monthly and is designed for institutional investors, requiring a significant minimum initial investment. In the context of the financial markets, this fund serves as a tool for investors seeking to manage interest rate risk, access safe-haven assets, or express long-term macroeconomic views through U.S. government debt exposure. Its performance is typically sensitive to changes in interest rates, making it a prominent choice in environments where shifts in monetary policy or macroeconomic outlook affect Treasury yields.
