Data provided bySource: Twelve DataAbout VTAPX#
Objective: “Vanguard Short-Term Inflation-Protected Securities Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of inflation-protected public obligations of the U.S. Treasury with remaining maturities of less than 5 years.”
How it invests: “The Fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) 0-5 Years Index (the “Target Index”). The Target Index is a market-capitalization weighted index consisting of inflation-protected public obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury with remaining maturities of less than 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 inflation-indexed securities that make up the Target Index.”
Same portfolio as VTIP (ETF, 0.04% a year): VTAPX is another share class of the same fund, so what differs between them is the fee and how each is bought.

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.
