About VBAIX
As an economical and straightforward index fund, it offers investors broad access to both equity and fixed income markets. The fund maintains an approximate allocation of 60% to equities and 40% to bonds, achieving this by mirroring the performance of two broad benchmark indices representing the overall U.S. stock market and U.S. taxable bond market, respectively. A key benefit of its extensive diversification is that the impact of any single holding on the fund's overall performance is substantially minimized. This fund may be well-suited as a foundational component for investors with a protracted investment horizon who are seeking a combination of capital appreciation and modest income, and are comfortable with the inherent volatility of both the stock and bond markets.
Performance
VBAIX had a total return of 15.82% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 7.46%.
