Investment Objectives
Vanguard Canadian Long-Term Bond Index ETF seeks to track, to the extent reasonably possible and before fees and expenses, the performance of a broad Canadian bond index with a long-term dollar weighted average maturity. Currently, this Vanguard ETF seeks to track the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Canadian 10+ Year Float Adjusted Bond Index (or any successor thereto). It invests rimarily in public, investment-grade fixed income securities issued in Canada.
Investment Strategy
In order to achieve its investment objective, Vanguard Canadian Long-Term Bond Index ETF employs a "passive management" - or indexing - investment approach designed to track the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Canadian 10+ Year Float Adjusted Bond Index. This Vanguard ETF invests by sampling the applicable Index, meaning that it holds a broadly diversified subset of Constituent Securities and/or other securities selected by the Sub-advisor.
