    About this fund

    Fund objectives

    • The Vanguard Sterling Short-Term Money Market Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide stability in the value of investments, liquidity and exposure to a variety of investments that typically perform differently from one another while maximising income earned from distributions such as interest (as opposed to that derived from an increase in the value of investments).
    • The Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing in short-term money market instruments including but not limited to bank certificates of deposits, commercial paper, corporate and sovereign variable and fixed rate bonds, UK Government bills, short term agreements to purchase / sell securities with an obligation to sell / repurchase the securities back at a later date (referred to as ’repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements’) and cash deposits.
    • The Fund is an active fund. The Fund is not recommended for investors seeking an increase in the value of investments over the long-term (more than 5 years).
    • These types of instruments may be issued by both UK and non-UK issuers.
    • The Fund may invest up to 100% of its investments in money market instruments issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the UK government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
