Vanguard

VALLEY FORGE, PAVanguard has revealed plans to launch two new index ETFs, Vanguard Ultra-Short Treasury ETF (VGUS) and Vanguard 0-3 Month Treasury Bill ETF (VBIL), in the first quarter of 2025. These funds aim to help individual investors and financial advisors manage short-term liquidity needs with low-cost Treasury exposure.

Both ETFs are designed to offer stability with short durations and low volatility, making them practical options for liquidity management. VGUS will focus on U.S. Treasury securities with maturities under 12 months, while VBIL will hold Treasury bills maturing in three months or less. Both are expected to feature an expense ratio of 0.07%, making them the most affordable funds in their respective categories.

“VGUS and VBIL can be a solution for those who rely on ultra-short bond funds and ETFs to manage their liquidity needs,” said Daniel Reyes, Global Head of Vanguard Portfolio Review Department. Reyes emphasized how these new funds will complement Vanguard’s money market and ultra-short-term bond offerings by giving investors greater flexibility when building portfolios.

The funds will be managed by the Vanguard Fixed Income Group, which has over 40 years of expertise in fixed income strategies. Known for disciplined index tracking and strong risk management, the group has a longstanding track record of delivering efficient, low-cost fixed income solutions. Since introducing the world’s first bond index fund in 1986, its expertise has been supported by advanced technology and robust processes.

With these upcoming ETFs, Vanguard continues to expand its solutions for cost-conscious investors looking to optimize liquidity and precision in portfolio construction.
