VCLT holds a broad portfolio of long-term investment-grade corporate bonds. Like all long-term bond funds, it is highly sensitive to long-term interest rates, but its high weighted-average credit rating means that its credit risk is very small. The fund includes USD-denominated, fixed-rate, taxable securities issued by industrial, utility, and financial companies with more than 10 years until maturity. The Fund invests using a sampling process that selects a representative sample of securities to capture the index’ key risk factors and other characteristics. The Index undergoes monthly rebalance and reconstitution.

Very Well Definded Bull TrendOkay, so this is not Bitcoin (har, har) but the reason I did this was I was curious as to what my other investments were doing.
