VMBS Stock, Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF Information

The investment seeks to track the performance of a market-weighted mortgage-backed securities index.

This index covers U.S. agency mortgage-backed pass-through securities. To be included in the index, pool aggregates must have at least $250 million currently outstanding and a weighted average maturity of at least 1 year. All of the funds investments will be selected through the sampling process, and under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the funds assets will be invested in bonds included in the index.
