Vanguard Total Intl Bd Idx Investor (VTIBX)

Vanguard Total International Bond Index Fund Investor Shares is a mutual fund designed to track the performance of a broad benchmark index composed of investment-grade bonds issued outside the United States. The fund provides exposure to global fixed-income markets, including government, agency, corporate, and securitized debt, all denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. By indexing to the Bloomberg Global Aggregate ex-USD Float Adjusted RIC Capped Index, the fund offers diversified access to international bond markets, helping investors mitigate country-specific and issuer-specific risks. The portfolio is structured to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity consistent with the index, typically ranging between 5 and 10 years. With a low expense ratio and monthly dividend payouts, the fund is a cost-effective solution for investors seeking international bond exposure and income generation. Its broad scope and market-cap-weighted approach make it a key tool for global asset allocation strategies.
