About VWETX

Vanguard Long-Term Investment-Grade Fund Admiral Shares is a mutual fund focused on delivering a high and sustainable level of current income by investing primarily in investment-grade U.S. fixed income securities. The fund targets a diversified portfolio composed largely of medium- and high-quality corporate bonds with an average maturity ranging from 15 to 25 years, making it sensitive to interest rate movements but well-suited for investors seeking long-duration exposure. At least 80% of its assets are held in intermediate- and long-term investment-grade bonds, and the fund’s selection process uses a fundamental, bottom-up approach to credit analysis. Notable sectors represented include financials, industrials, and utilities, with top holdings featuring major corporations such as Microsoft, Wells Fargo, and Bristol-Myers Squibb. The fund serves institutional and high-net-worth investors, given its relatively high minimum investment threshold. With over $16 billion in assets under management and a low expense ratio, it plays a prominent role in the long-term bond category, providing reliable access to high-quality corporate credit for those aiming to balance income needs with credit and duration risk management.
