About VCDAX
This low-cost index fund offers exposure to the consumer discretionary sector of the U.S. equity market, which includes stocks of companies that manufacture products and provide services that consumers consider nonessential, such as retailers, restaurants, and internet and direct marketing retail companies. The fund’s main risk is its narrow scope—it invests solely in consumer discretionary stocks, which tend to be sensitive to economic cycles. An investor should expect high volatility from the fund, which should be considered only as a small portion of an already well-diversified portfolio.
