Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund ETF Shares Company Overview
About Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund ETF Shares
Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund ETF Shares (NYSE:VMBS) focuses on providing exposure to U.S. agency mortgage-backed pass-through securities. By tracking the Bloomberg U.S. MBS Float Adjusted Index, the fund aims to offer high levels of liquidity, diversification, and a relatively low level of risk as compared to other fixed income securities. Its operations involve investing in a wide range of mortgage-backed securities, primarily those issued by government-sponsored enterprises such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. The primary objective of VMBS is to seek a high level of return consistent with moderate long-term risk. Through its investment strategy, the fund seeks to provide investors with a way to gain exposure to the U.S. residential mortgage market without directly buying or managing a portfolio of mortgages, offering both regular income in the form of dividends and the potential for capital appreciation.
