About VDEQX
This fund invests in six underlying Vanguard stock funds, providing investors with broad exposure to the U.S. equity market. Each underlying fund is actively managed and has a distinct investment approach. Together, the funds cover the style and capitalization spectrum by investing in growth and value, as well as small-, mid-, and large-cap companies. While this mosaic of investment approaches provides diversification benefits, it is not without risk. A primary risk stems from the fund’s full exposure to the stock market. Investors who consider this fund should have a longer time horizon, since this fund could be volatile in the short term.
