Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond 

This exchange-traded fund aims to mirror the investment outcomes of the Bloomberg U.S. 5–10 Year Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index. This particular benchmark is a market-capitalization-weighted index composed exclusively of investment-grade bonds, which collectively possess a dollar-weighted average maturity between five and ten years. The ETF's portfolio is primarily allocated to U.S. government securities, high-quality corporate debt, and investment-grade international bonds all denominated in U.S. dollars. Its operation is characteristic of passive management, employing an index sampling approach to achieve its objectives.
