- What does VLTCX invest in?
- This economical index fund aims to track a broad market of long-term corporate bonds. Its holdings consist primarily of U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable debt instruments issued by industrial, utility, and financial sector companies, all with maturities extending beyond ten years. A significant risk arises from the high sensitivity of long-duration bonds to interest rate changes; thus, an increase in rates could diminish the value of the underlying portfolio bonds, thereby reducing the fund's share price. This offering is well-suited for investors seeking consistent interest income who also possess a high tolerance for substantial market value volatility.
