Vanguard Long-Term Treasury Index Fund ETF Shares (VGLT) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that tracks the Bloomberg U.S. Long Treasury Index. The fund invests in fixed income securities issued by the U.S. Treasury with maturities greater than 10 years, excluding inflation-protected bonds, floating rate securities, and certain other security types. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the funds assets are invested in bonds included in the underlying index. VGLT is classified within the Long Government ETF category and began trading in late 2009.
As a long-duration government bond ETF, VGLT provides exposure to the longest maturity segment of the U.S. Treasury market, which is typically more sensitive to interest rate movements than shorter-duration bond funds. The fund operates under a passive indexing strategy, meaning its performance is designed to mirror its benchmark rather than outperform it, and it relies on the creditworthiness of the U.S. government as the sole issuer of its underlying securities.
