Vanguard Short Duration Tax-Exempt Bond ETF
Cboe: VSDM
Listed November 21, 2024
The fund's investment objective seeks to provide current income that is exempt from federal personal income taxes, with limited price volatility. Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal bonds denominated in U.S. dollars from a variety of issuers that are primarily U.S. states or local governments or agencies whose interest is exempt from federal income taxes and the federal alternative minimum tax. The fund is expected to maintain, under normal market conditions, a dollar-weighted average maturity between 2 and 7 years. The majority of the funds exposure to fixed income securities is expected to have credit quality that is investment-grade. The fund is subject to certain risks including interest rate risk, which is the chance that the price of the bonds in the portfolio will decline because of rising interest rates. Investors who are looking for a fund that may provide federal tax-exempt income and can tolerate moderate price and income fluctuations may wish to consider this fund.

About Vanguard
Vanguard was founded in 1975 by John C. Bogle under a, investor-owned** structure. Unlike some other investment management companies, Vanguard is owned by the Vanguard funds, which in turn are owned by the funds' investors. Under other arrangements, mutual funds are products of a management company and serve two constituents-fund owners and company owners.

Vanguard, which is based in Malvern, Pennsylvania, has offices worldwide and manages more than $9.5 trillion* on behalf of individual investors, institutions, and financial professionals.
Recognizing that investors have diverse investment needs, Vanguard has developed a broad and carefully defined roster of investment portfolios. Each portfolio is managed for specific objectives, follows tightly prescribed strategies, and adheres to well-articulated policies. Vanguard's in-house investment professionals oversee an array of index and actively managed portfolios, and distinguished external managers are retained for specific active mandates.
