Description & usage
The Vanguard Long-Term Treasury ETF invests in long-dated U.S. Treasuries. With high duration, the price is highly sensitive to rate moves: falling yields can drive sizable gains, while rising yields can lead to significant drawdowns. Returns combine interest income with pronounced price movements, resulting in higher volatility than shorter-maturity Treasury funds. The ETF is used to gain targeted long-duration Treasury exposure, sometimes as a risk-off hedge.
