Would VFSUX survive 2008?
Vanguard Short-term Investment-grade Fund Admiral Shares
It doesn't have to be a hypothetical: VFSUX was there. Here's exactly what happened to it through the global financial crisis and the recovery that followed.
VFSUX fell 8% from its 2008-02 peak to its 2008-11 trough, measured on month-end closes ($10,000 at the peak dipped to about $9,247) and took 15 months from peak to full recovery (dividends reinvested).
