Vanguard Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF

VUSB actively invests in investment grade securities while aiming to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 0 to 2 years.

VUSB performed well during monetary tightening but is now downgraded to 'Hold' due to lower yields in a monetary easing environment. The interest rate curve has shifted, reducing front-end yields by 90 bps, making VUSB less appealing. VUSB's portfolio is overweight corporate bonds and ABS, with tight credit spreads and a low 30-day SEC yield of 3.74%.
