About VMSIX

Vanguard Multi-Sector Income Bond Fund Investor Shares is an actively managed mutual fund focused on delivering total return with a moderate to high level of current income. The strategy invests across multiple fixed income sectors, combining investment-grade and below-investment-grade bonds, and selectively includes international and emerging-markets debt to broaden diversification and income sources. It emphasizes credit exposure over interest-rate risk, aiming for a balanced profile with medium credit quality and limited to moderate interest-rate sensitivity. The fund’s multi-sector approach allows allocation to U.S. corporates, securitized credit, high yield, and government bonds, complemented by opportunistic positions in sovereign and corporate issuers outside the United States. Managed within Vanguard’s risk-controlled framework, the portfolio targets competitive income while seeking prudent risk management through sector rotation and security selection. This fund serves investors looking for a diversified, core-plus style bond holding that blends credit-driven income with measured duration exposure, and it fits within the multisector bond category where flexibility across markets is central to its role.
