What does VBTLX invest in?

This fund aims to offer broad and diversified exposure to high-quality U.S. debt instruments. To achieve this, it strategically invests in a wide range of U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities, spanning all durations from short-term to long-term issues. As is typical with fixed-income investments, a key risk involves interest rate fluctuations; an increase in rates can cause the market value of the fund's underlying bonds to fall, thereby reducing its net asset value. Due to its extensive coverage across various segments and maturity horizons of the bond market, investors may consider incorporating this fund as a core part of their fixed-income portfolio.
