About VWITX
This fund aims to deliver a steady and moderate stream of current income, free from federal personal income taxes. Although it has no constraints on the maturity of individual securities, the portfolio's dollar-weighted average maturity is anticipated to fall within a 6-to-12-year range. A significant portion of its assets—at least 75%—consists of municipal bonds rated within the top three credit categories by an official rating organization, or considered to be of comparable quality by the advisor. Up to 20% of the fund's holdings may be in medium-grade bonds, as determined by a rating agency or the advisor, with the remaining 5% potentially invested in lower-rated or similarly qualified securities. A primary risk involves interest rate fluctuations, which can negatively impact bond values or lead to reduced income for the fund. This offering is well-suited for investors seeking federal tax-exempt interest income who are comfortable with moderate variations in both price and income. It is crucial to understand that this Vanguard fund is a standalone product, distinct from the Vanguard Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt Bond ETF (VTEI), and differences in scale, investment processes, and underlying assets are expected to result in varied investment returns between the two.
