Would VFISX survive 2008?
Vanguard Short-Term Treasury Fund
It doesn't have to be a hypothetical: VFISX was there. Here's exactly what happened to it through the global financial crisis and the recovery that followed.
VFISX fell 2% from its 2010-10 peak to its 2011-03 trough, measured on month-end closes ($10,000 at the peak dipped to about $9,774) and had not fully recovered by the end of 2013 (dividends reinvested).
