Our read on EDV

ETF.net Research

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

  1. 01At 0.05%, it undercuts the typical long-Treasury ETF (cohort median 0.15%) and charges a third of what TLT does.
  2. 02STRIPS 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.fund-docs.vanguard.com
  3. 03Vanguard 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

  1. 01Vanguard'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.fund-docs.vanguard.com
  2. 02Vanguard describes the fund as primarily intended for pension plans and other institutions matching long-term liabilities.fund-docs.vanguard.com
  3. 03The STRIPS pay no coupons. Income accrues as the discount pulls toward par, and the fund passes that along to shareholders.fund-docs.vanguard.com
