Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond Index Fund logo

BIV (Intermediate-Term Bond ETF Vanguard) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) managed by Vanguard Group. The ETF seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 5-10 Year Government/Credit Float Adjusted Index, which is a benchmark that tracks the performance of investment-grade bonds with maturities between 5 and 10 years.

As a fixed income ETF, BIV invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade bonds issued by the U.S. government, corporations, and other entities. The ETF aims to provide investors with exposure to the intermediate-term fixed income market, which can provide a stable source of income and help diversify a portfolio.

As of September 2021, the BIV ETF had total net assets of around $31 billion and was invested in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade bonds with maturities between 5 and 10 years. The fund's holdings are typically rolled over on a regular basis, with new bonds being purchased as old ones mature.

The ETF's focus on intermediate-term investment-grade bonds means that it is relatively sensitive to changes in interest rates, which can make it a suitable option for investors who are seeking a low-risk investment option with some potential for capital appreciation.

Investors should keep in mind that like all investments, BIV carries risks, including the risk that interest rates may rise, which can result in a decline in the value of the ETF's holdings.
