- Vident U.S. Bond Strategy ETF (VBND) is an exchange-traded fund that actively manages a diversified portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated fixed income securities to provide current income and long-term capital appreciation as an alternative to traditional core bond strategies. The ETF tracks a proprietary methodology derived from the Vident Core U.S. Bond Strategy Index, incorporating multi-factor tilts including sector diversification, human productivity screening to exclude high financial distress issuers, governance factors for creditworthiness, momentum weighting, and country opportunity scoring for international bonds; its holdings encompass U.S. Treasuries and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), mortgage-backed securities from Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, investment-grade corporate bonds, high-yield corporate bonds (capped at 20%), and select U.S.-denominated international bonds, with a target duration of three to seven years, monthly rebalancing, and quarterly reconstitution. Launched on October 16, 2014, and listed on NYSE Arca, VBND is issued by ETF Series Solutions under the fund family of Exchange Traded Concepts, with sub-advisory services provided by Vident Advisory, LLC, headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia. The fund primarily targets institutional and retail investors seeking intermediate-term core-plus bond exposure in developed North American markets. In recent developments, the fund underwent a name change from Vident Core U.S. Bond Strategy ETF to Vident U.S. Bond Strategy ETF effective December 31, 2022, and transitioned from passive index tracking to active management prior to April 9, 2025, enhancing its flexibility in bond selection and sector allocations. Vident Advisory, the sub-advisor, was acquired by entrepreneur Casey Crawford in mid-2023 through a definitive agreement announced in April 2023, accompanied by a significant growth equity infusion to support expansion in asset management, sub-advisory, ETF sponsorship, index research, and separately managed accounts. These strategic shifts have bolstered the firm's capabilities amid assets under management reaching approximately $473 million as of late 2025, with ongoing institutional ownership adjustments including increased stakes by entities such as Vident Advisory, Ronald Blue Trust, and JPMorgan Chase & Co.
