6 NOV, 2025
By Joanna Piwko from RankiaPro Europe
Vanguard has announced the launch of three new fixed income exchange-traded funds (UCITS ETFs): Vanguard US Treasury 1–3 Year Bond UCITS ETF, Vanguard US Treasury 3–7 Year Bond UCITS ETF and Vanguard US Treasury 7–10 Year Bond UCITS ETF.
These additions join the existing Vanguard US Treasury 0–1 Year Bond UCITS ETF and Vanguard USD Treasury Bond UCITS ETF, allowing investors to more precisely fine-tune the duration of their portfolios along the yield curve.
The new ETFs will be listed on the London Stock Exchange, Deutsche Börse and Euronext Amsterdam. With these launches, the number of fixed income funds that Vanguard has introduced in Europe so far this year rises to ten.

Management
The new ETFs will be managed by Vanguard's Fixed Income Group, responsible for more than 2.6 trillion dollars in global assets. The team combines diverse perspectives with the aim of providing an accurate replica of the benchmark indices, prudent risk management, and competitive performance.
These new ETFs will allow investors to adjust their exposure to the US Treasury bond yield curve more precisely, thus aligning their asset allocation with their investment objectives, in a low-cost and high-quality format. Our purpose is to help clients build lasting portfolios that provide real value to investors through positive real returns, replicating Bloomberg indices and investing in US Treasury bonds.
