Monthly data · as of Jun 30, 2026

BND’s fund, all share classes together: in the month to Jun 30, 2026, net $3.7bn came in, by its SEC filing.

Computed by ETFIQ from the monthly sales and redemptions BND files with the SEC on Form N-PORT.

How this is computed

ETFIQ reads no daily data for this fund, so its flows are monthly, and the latest month filed is Jun 2026. The filing covers all share classes of the fund, not the ETF alone: Vanguard sells its ETF as one share class of a fund that also has mutual fund shares. Every day and month ETFIQ holds for BND, back to Jul 2019, is in its flows file. Flows across every fund · How these flows are computed · Compare BND with other funds in the flows tool
