Score Pending — Limited Data
We do not currently have enough commercially displayable fund-specific data to calculate a reliable score. This is not a negative assessment of the ETF.
ETFs on this site are scored by a separate, fund-specific model sourced from official SEC filings (Form N-PORT, N-CEN, Risk/Return Summary) when enough evidence exists -- this is not the same model or scale used for operating-company research pages. How it works →

Fund Overview
VAB is a broad Canadian fixed-income index fund managed by Vanguard Investments Canada, holding a diversified mix of Canadian government and investment-grade corporate bonds rather than equities.
Index Strategy
VAB tracks the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Canadian Float Adjusted Bond Index, a market-capitalization-weighted index of Canadian federal, provincial, and investment-grade corporate bonds across a range of maturities. Index membership and weights are set by Bloomberg Index Services, an independent third-party index provider.
Geographic Exposure
All underlying holdings are Canadian-dollar-denominated bonds issued by Canadian governments and corporations; the fund does not hold foreign-currency-denominated bonds.
Principal Risks
As a fund tracking a broad investment-grade Canadian bond index, VAB.TO carries interest-rate risk (bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise) and credit risk from its corporate and government bond holdings, along with general fixed-income market risk; it does not carry equity-market risk.
