This strategy has permitted Vanguard Prime Cash Current market Fund Admiral Shares to outperform ninety seven% of the competition over the past two a long time.* More impressive, Vanguard Federal Cash Current market Fund Investor Shares has trailed Vanguard Prime Cash Current market Fund Investor Shares only marginally over the exact same time period of time.**

Vanguard’s federal government income marketplace resources have outperformed their peer-team averages and are rated within just the leading decile of friends over the 1-, three-, 5-, and ten-calendar year durations finished June thirty, 2020.
