About VSIGX

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury Index Fund Admiral Shares is a U.S. mutual fund specializing in intermediate-term U.S. Treasury securities. The fund’s primary objective is to mirror the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury 3-10 Year Index, which is composed of fixed income securities issued directly by the U.S. Treasury with remaining maturities between three and ten years. It does not invest in inflation-protected bonds or floating-rate securities, focusing instead on traditional Treasury notes and bonds within the specified maturity range. The fund maintains broad diversification, holding over 100 distinct Treasury issues, and typically allocates at least 80% of its assets to securities included in its target index. With a low expense ratio and monthly dividend distributions, it is designed to offer investors a cost-effective way to gain exposure to intermediate-term government debt, providing income while generally exhibiting moderate interest rate sensitivity and high credit quality. In the broader market, this fund plays a stabilizing role, often utilized by investors seeking to manage interest rate risk or as a conservative component within diversified portfolios.
