- Vanguard Long-Term Treasury ETF (VGLT) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Bloomberg U.S. Long Treasury Bond Index, comprising investment-grade U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of 10 years or more, excluding inflation-protected bonds; it employs a sampling method to replicate the index's key risk factors, weighted average maturity, and dollar-weighted average maturity across a representative portfolio of holdings. Launched on November 19, 2009, and domiciled in the United States, the fund is issued and managed by The Vanguard Group, Inc., headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, with a net expense ratio of 0.03% and total net assets exceeding $14 billion as of recent reports. VGLT primarily serves investors seeking long-term income and capital preservation with minimal credit risk, though it carries significant interest rate sensitivity due to its extended duration; it trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker VGLT and is available to investors in the United States and select international markets including Mexico. The fund invests exclusively in fixed-rate U.S. Treasury bonds spanning maturities primarily between 10 and 25 years or longer, focusing on high credit quality government debt to provide benchmark-like exposure to the long-term Treasury segment; it distributes monthly dividends derived from bond yields, with recent payouts including $0.2140 per share declared in December 2025. Vanguard Group, as the issuer, maintains the fund through passive management overseen by portfolio manager Joshua Barrickman since 2013, ensuring alignment with the index via full replication sampling without leverage or derivatives. In recent developments, effective July 15, 2024, Vanguard updated the calculation of VGLT's market price returns to use official closing prices from the ETF's primary exchange, enhancing pricing accuracy and transparency for investors. Amid expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2025, the fund has seen sustained institutional interest as a duration-extension vehicle and hedge against macroeconomic risks, with assets under management at approximately $9.92 billion and year-to-date performance reflecting bond market volatility. Vanguard continues to expand its broader fixed income lineup, including new Treasury-focused ETFs launched in 2025, though VGLT itself has maintained its core index-tracking strategy without structural changes.
