VBND Vident Core US Bond Strategy ETF

Seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Vident Core US Bond Index, a strategy that seeks to achieve better diversification of credit and interest rate risks. In addition, the strategy seeks to improve corporate bond exposures by screening for companies with stronger leadership, governance and credit-worthiness. To further improve portfolio characteristics (credit risk profile), the strategy weights individual issuers based on their creditworthiness, leadership, governance and distress factors designed to achieve an optimal tradeoff of interest rate risk (duration*) and valuation (yield to worst**). Thus, the issue weights are not driven by debt outstanding but are arrived at by a rules-based process to help improve diversification, valuation and governance characteristics.
