Objective: “Vanguard High-Yield Corporate Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide a high level of current income.”
How it invests: “The Fund employs an active management approach, investing primarily in a diversified group of high-yielding, higher-risk corporate bonds with medium- and lower-range credit quality ratings (commonly known as “junk” bonds). Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in corporate bonds that are rated below Baa by Moody’s or the equivalent by another independent rating agency, or, if unrated, are determined to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s advisors. The Fund’s holdings generally have short- and intermediate-term maturities.”

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.
