About VGCIX

Vanguard Global Credit Bond Fund Investor Shares is an open-end mutual fund specializing in global credit bonds. Its primary aim is to provide a moderate and sustainable level of current income by investing at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade debt securities. The fund’s holdings span both corporate and non-corporate issuers worldwide, with a small allocation—up to 10%—to below-investment-grade bonds, balancing income potential and credit risk. The portfolio maintains an average credit quality near Baa3 or better and features a moderate average duration, aiming to manage interest rate sensitivity while seeking attractive yields. Notable for its low expense ratio and quarterly income distributions, this fund is managed by a team with extensive experience in fixed-income markets. Through its global orientation and focus on credit quality, the fund serves as a core fixed income holding for investors seeking broad exposure to global credit markets, diversification across sectors and geographies, and a stable income stream within the context of fixed income investing.
