Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? For the 12 months ended September 30, 2024, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate ex Baa Index. U.S. economic growth hovered around 3% on a year-over-year basis during the period, quelling recession fears. The Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates for the first time since early 2020, and the year-over-year rate of consumer price inflation eased to around 2.5%. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index of investment-grade bonds returned about 11.6%. The Fund’s advisor added value through higher exposure to corporate and asset-backed securities and a larger credit beta overweight. The Fund nevertheless underperformed relative to its benchmark largely because the duration of the Fund’s portfolio was significantly longer. For the 10 years ended September 30, 2024, the Fund’s average annual return outpaced that of its benchmark. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? For the 12 months ended September 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Government/Credit 1‒3 Year ex Baa Index. U.S. economic growth hovered around 3% on a year-over-year basis during the period, quelling recession fears. The Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates for the first time since early 2020, and the year-over-year rate of consumer price inflation eased to around 2.5%. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index of investment-grade bonds returned about 11.5%. The Fund outperformed because it had a greater exposure to corporate and asset-backed securities than its benchmark and was overweighted in segments of the market that are more sensitive to credit risk. For the 10 years ended September 30, 2024, the Fund’s average annual return outpaced that of its benchmark. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? For the 12 months ended September 30, 2024, Vanguard Core-Plus Bond Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Index. U.S. economic growth hovered around 3% on a year-over-year basis during the period, quelling recession fears. The Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates for the first time since early 2020, and the year-over-year rate of consumer price inflation eased to around 2.5%. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index of investment-grade bonds returned about 11.5%. The Fund outperformed its benchmark by carrying a modest overweight to sectors that are more sensitive to credit risk. Other strategies, including adding duration, positioning for longer-term yields to be higher than short-term yields, and taking advantage of interest rate moves outside the U.S. bond market, such as those in Japan, added value. Selection in emerging markets bonds, high-yield bonds, and investment-grade corporate bonds also contributed to performance. | |
