Vanguard Government Securities Active ETF

VGVT

Market cap $15.3M

As noted by TMX VettaFi Head of Research Todd Rosenbluth, fixed income ETFs are having a banner year amid record inflows. The Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) and Vanguard Total International Bond ETF (BNDX) were two of the top funds responsible for the $325 billion in net inflows (as of October 15).

The Federal Reserve's first rate cut of the year may have forced fixed income investors to rethink their bond exposure. In the case of government bonds, investors may want to take an active, diversified approach with the Vanguard Government Securities Active ETF (VGVT).

Active fixed income ETFs have been quite popular thus far in 2025. However, following the Fed's rate cut, we expect demand to persist into yearend and into 2026.

Vanguard continues to bolster its active ETF lineup with a new, high yield fund — the Vanguard High-Yield Active ETF (VGHY). It's the first high yield active ETF from Vanguard, bringing their current active ETF roster to nine funds.

The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) and Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) are prime examples of what has been the bedrock of Vanguard's ETF strategy: offer low-cost, passive funds. That's amassed them insurmountable assets under management over the years.

Government debt and inflation protection highlight Vanguard's latest offering of fixed income funds. One confirms the trend towards active strategies while the other two remind investors that Vanguard isn't straying away from its index funds.

Demand for fixed-income exchange-traded funds has surged in the past week, as U.S. government debt reversed outflows.

On Wednesday, Vanguard expanded its fixed income ETF selection with the launch of three new funds. For folks looking to outperform the Treasury market, the Vanguard Government Securities Active ETF (VGVT) may be an attractive new option.
