Vanguard launches a new fixed income fund
16 SEPT, 2025
By Joanna Piwko from RankiaPro Europe
Vanguard management has announced today the launch of the Vanguard Global Government Bond Index Fund. This is the seventh fixed income fund that the manager has launched in Europe this year and is conceived as a new fundamental pillar for the construction of investors' portfolios.
The new fund complements the existing one, Vanguard Global Government Bond UCITS ETF, thus offering investors the possibility to choose between different investment structures.
The fund seeks to replicate the Bloomberg Global Treasury Developed Countries Float Adjusted Index and applies hedges to reduce currency risk.

The new fund will be managed by Vanguard's Fixed Income Group, which manages more than 2.6 trillion dollars globally and draws on a wide diversity of perspectives and knowledge to offer an accurate replica of benchmark indices, prudent risk management and highly competitive performance.
With the addition of the Vanguard Global Government Bond Index Fund, the manager now offers 40 indexed fixed income products in Europe.
In fixed income, it can be tempting for investors to focus on the local. However, as recent events in the markets have highlighted, a broader global allocation can help diversify risks. With the addition of a global sovereign bond fund, investors gain access to a larger number of assets, different inflation and economic environments, as well as different business cycles, from a wider range of markets.
