The launch comes as demand for income-generating fixed-income strategies remains strong amid elevated bond yields and growing investor interest in diversifying beyond traditional investment-grade debt. Vanguard CIO and Global Head of Fixed Income Sara Devereux said the high-yield market has become an increasingly important component of fixed-income portfolios, but much of the existing exposure remains concentrated in higher-cost products.
The firm believes VCHY’s rules-based approach, liquidity focus, and low fees provide a more efficient way for investors and financial advisors to access the segment. Vanguard’s Fixed Income Group oversees more than $2.9 trillion in global assets and has managed bond index strategies since launching the world’s first bond index fund in 1986.
