Data provided bySource: Twelve DataAbout VBIRX#
Objective: “Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to track the performance of a market-weighted bond index with a short-term dollar-weighted average maturity.”
How it invests: “The Fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index (the “Target Index”), which includes all medium and larger issues of U.S. government, investment-grade corporate, and investment-grade international dollar-denominated bonds that have maturities between 1 and 5 years and are publicly issued. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in the bonds that make up the Target Index.”
Same portfolio as BSV (ETF, 0.03% a year): VBIRX is another share class of the same fund, so what differs between them is the fee and how each is bought.

Data provided bySource: Twelve DataCompound annual growth rate per holding period, total return (dividends reinvested), from weekly adjusted closes. Each column is anchored at the date under it; horizons the fund’s history can’t span are omitted.
Fund flows#
Net creations minus redemptions per period, from the fund’s SEC Form N-PORT filings (series-level: where a fund shares its portfolio with mutual-fund share classes, flows cover all classes combined). Quarterly filings publish with a ~60-day lag, so recent months appear as filings land. Flow data begins mid-2019 — Form N-PORT did not exist before then, for any fund.
