The Fund employs a passive management or indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Barclays Capital U.S. 1-3 Year Government Float Adjusted Index (the Index). This Index includes fixed-income securities issued by the United States Treasury (not including inflation-protected securities) and the United States Government agencies and instrumentalities, as well as corporate or dollar-denominated foreign debt guaranteed by the United States Government, all with maturities between 1 and 3 years. The Fund invests by sampling the Index, meaning that it holds a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full Index in terms of key risk factors and other characteristics. The Fund’s investment advisor is Vanguard Fixed Income Group.Read More VGSH Stock Price History View Price History Chart DataSkip Price History Chart 30 days | 90 days | 365 days | Advanced Chart VGSH ETF News HeadlinesApril 28, 2024 | americanbankingnews.comShort Interest in Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Index ETF (NASDAQ:VGSH) Drops By 34.0%April 17, 2024 | seekingalpha.comVanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund ETF SharesMay 8, 2024 | Crypto Swap Profits (Ad)Claim Your Complimentary Bitcoin RewardMany have already secured their free Bitcoin reward offered by our esteemed guest.

VGSH Pros and Cons Explained Pros Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Index ETF: The Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Index ETF (VGSH) provides a low-risk investment option for investors seeking stability in their portfolio. With a focus on short-term government bonds, VGSH offers a relatively predictable income stream due to the stable nature of these securities. Investing in VGSH can serve as a hedge against market volatility, as government bonds tend to perform well during economic downturns. VGSH may be suitable for investors looking to preserve capital while earning a modest return, making it a defensive play in uncertain market conditions. Given the current economic climate, VGSH could be an attractive option for risk-averse investors looking to diversify their holdings. Cons Investors should be bearish about investing in Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Index ETF for these reasons: One drawback of VGSH is that it typically offers lower returns compared to riskier investments such as stocks, which may not meet the growth expectations of some investors. As interest rates rise, the value of existing bonds like those held by VGSH may decline, potentially leading to capital losses for investors. VGSH's performance is closely tied to interest rate movements, making it susceptible to changes in monetary policy set by central banks. Investors should consider the current stock price of VGSH and evaluate whether it aligns with their investment goals and risk tolerance before making a decision. While VGSH offers stability, it may not provide significant capital appreciation opportunities, limiting its appeal for investors seeking higher growth potential.
