The Vanguard Core Plus Bond ETF (VPLS) tracks a Target Index composed of U.S. government and agency obligations, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and emerging market bonds. All holdings are denominated in U.S. dollars with maturities of at least one year. Under normal circumstances, the fund commits at least 80% of its net assets to bonds that make up the Target Index.
As an exchange-traded fund listed on NASDAQ, VPLS follows a passive index-tracking investment model, consistent with Vanguards well-known approach to fund management. The core-plus bond category broadens exposure beyond traditional government and investment-grade corporate debt to include securitized instruments (such as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities) and emerging market bonds, offering investors diversified U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-income access through a single listed security.
