VGSH

Vanguard Short‑Term Treasury Index Fund ETF (VGSH) invests primarily in U.S. Treasury securities with maturities typically ranging from one to three years, giving it a focus on the short‑term government bond sector and limiting exposure to a single geographic region—the United States. The fund’s strategy is to track the Bloomberg US Treasury Short‑Term Index by holding the same Treasury issues in the same proportion, providing full or near‑full replication of the index’s composition. It seeks to deliver modest income while preserving capital and maintaining very low volatility relative to longer‑duration bond funds. This ETF is suitable for conservative investors, cash‑management needs, or portfolio allocations that require a stable, liquid, short‑term fixed‑income component.
