Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2026 Q2

Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond Index Fund (the Fund) seeks to track the performance of a market-weighted corporate bond index with an intermediate-term dollar-weighted average maturity.

Strategy · summarised

The fund tracks the Bloomberg U.S. 5-10 Year Corporate Bond Index using a sampling approach, holding a range of investment-grade corporate bonds with maturities between 5 and 10 years that approximate the index's key risk factors and characteristics. Because the fund samples rather than holds all index constituents, its returns may diverge from the index.

The outer band is exposure held short — written against the portfolio rather than part of it, which is why it sits outside the ring and why the two are never netted into one figure.

Derivatives are shown at market value, not notional exposure.

Return profile

Chart:

Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026

Share class1-year3-year5-yearVolWorst fall
+6.11%+17.39%+7.00%3.50%-5.71%
+6.12%+17.44%+7.08%3.49%-5.68%
+6.11%+17.46%+7.10%3.49%-5.67%

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 0.10pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.02pp a year — not a difference in what they own.

Cumulative return· Jun 2023 – Apr 2026

May 2026 has been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so it is not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.

Risk profile

Interest-rate and credit-spread sensitivity, both in years · as of 2026Q2

More of this fund’s sensitivity sits in credit spreads than in interest rates — a rate rally that comes with a credit selloff works against it.

Interest-rate duration
6.03 yr
approx. move per 100bp
Credit-spread duration
6.21 yr
approx. move per 100bp
If rates and spreads both rise 100bp

Where the loss would come from. The two shocks are the same size, so this is the balance of the fund's two sensitivities rather than a bet on one moving more.

≈ -12.0%
of value
Credit spreads51%
Interest rates49%

Filers report the impact of a 0.01% move only, so the total is our own scaling of that one number and overstates the loss on most bonds — read it as approximate, never as precise. The two sensitivities overlap rather than add up: they measure the same positions against different shocks, which is why the durations above are shown side by side and never summed.

Where the risk sits on the curve

Share of duration at each point, shortest first. A positive figure loses value when spreads widen; a negative one offsets — a credit hedge.

The two bands measure the same positions against different shocks and do not add — a Treasury carries rate duration and no spread duration, a floating-rate credit the reverse. Rate tenors are also summed across every currency the fund discloses.
