Data provided bySource: Twelve DataAbout VSCSX#
Objective: “Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to track the performance of a market-weighted corporate 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 Corporate Bond Index (the “Target Index”), which includes U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable debt securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. industrial, utility, and financial companies, all with maturities between 1 and 5 years. 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 VCSH (ETF, 0.03% a year): VSCSX 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.
