Our read on EDV

ETF.net Research

In short

AZero-coupon Treasury STRIPS maturing in 20 to 30 years: the most rate-sensitive corner of the government bond market, in a five-basis-point Vanguard wrapper. Pure duration, nothing else.

Stated mandate

The fund passively tracks an index of extended-duration, zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities, specifically Treasury STRIPS with maturities from 20 to 30 years.

Why people hold it

  • At 0.05%, it undercuts the typical long-Treasury ETF (cohort median 0.15%) and charges a third of what TLT does.
  • STRIPS have their coupons removed, so the roughly 80 holdings are pure principal claims dated 20 to 30 years out. Rate sensitivity runs beyond standard 20+ year Treasury funds.vanguard.com
  • Vanguard has run it since 2007, it tracks its Bloomberg STRIPS index closely, and it sits among the top-rated names in its long-Treasury peer group.

Worth knowing

  • Vanguard's own fact sheet warns that interest rate risk is expected to be extremely high and that rising rates may cause the fund's value to decline significantly.vanguard.com
  • Vanguard describes the fund as primarily intended for pension plans and other institutions matching long-term liabilities.vanguard.com
  • The STRIPS pay no coupons. Income accrues as the discount pulls toward par, and the fund passes that along to shareholders.vanguard.com
