About VNJUX

Vanguard New Jersey Long-Term Tax-Exempt Fund Admiral Shares is a municipal bond mutual fund designed to provide investors with income that is exempt from both federal and New Jersey personal income taxes. The fund primarily invests in high-quality municipal securities issued by New Jersey state and local governments, as well as regional authorities. Its portfolio typically maintains an average maturity of 15 to 25 years, positioning the fund within the long-term municipal category and exposing it to higher interest rate sensitivity and potential credit risk relative to shorter-duration funds. With over 900 holdings, the fund is broadly diversified across a variety of issuers and sectors critical to New Jersey, including transportation, education, healthcare, and public utilities. It is recognized for its low expense ratio—among the lowest in its peer group—and distributes income monthly. The fund's role is to offer tax-advantaged income to residents seeking both state and federal tax exemptions, making it particularly relevant for New Jersey investors in higher tax brackets. Its sizable asset base and focus on municipal credit quality further underpin its prominence among tax-exempt fixed income offerings.
