Vanguard Long-Term Tax-Exempt Bond ETF

VTEL

Market cap $77.7M

Vanguard Long-Term Tax-Exempt Bond ETF offers broad exposure to long-term, high-quality municipal bonds with minimal credit risk and low fees. VTEL tracks an index using a sampling approach, resulting in wide diversification but little selectivity, and is best suited for buy-and-hold investors. The fund's 4.15% SEC yield may not persist through interest rate cycles, as all bonds were purchased recently at current rates.

On Thursday, Vanguard expanded its selection of fixed income ETFs with the launch of the Vanguard Long-Term Tax-Exempt Bond ETF (VTEL) and the Vanguard New York Tax-Exempt Bond ETF (MUNY).  Both of these new Vanguard funds offer a distinct strategy for building municipal bond exposure.
