Vanguard Core-Plus Bond Index ETF (BNDP)

The Vanguard Core-Plus Bond Index ETF (BNDP) is a passively managed fund that tracks a broad bond market index combining a core investment-grade portfolio with additional plus sectors. In addition to U.S. Treasuries, agency mortgage-backed securities and investment-grade corporate bonds, the index includes allocations to higher-yielding segments such as high-yield corporate bonds and emerging markets debt.

The fund is sponsored by Vanguard, the Valley Forge, Pennsylvania-based investment company, and trades on Nasdaq. It extends Vanguard's index bond lineup by offering a single fund that blends core and higher-income fixed-income exposures.
