About VTBSX

Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund Institutional Select Shares is an institutional share class mutual fund designed to provide broad exposure to the U.S. investment-grade bond market.

The portfolio is expansive, with over 18,000 holdings and significant allocation to high-credit-quality instruments such as U.S. Treasuries, resulting in a conservative risk profile and substantial liquidity. The fund stands out for its exceptionally low expense ratio, making it cost-effective for large institutions. By weighting holdings by market value and adjusting for Federal Reserve holdings, the fund ensures investability and broad market representation. Vanguard Total Bond Market Index Fund Institutional Select Shares serves as a core fixed income holding, offering diversification, income potential, and a representative snapshot of the overall U.S. taxable bond market.
