About VFICX
This fund aims to provide broad access to a diverse portfolio of medium to high-quality, investment-grade debt instruments, typically maturing between five and ten years on average. To meet this objective, it allocates capital across corporate debt, aggregated consumer loans (such as asset-backed securities), and obligations issued by the U.S. government, all within this intermediate maturity window. A key risk for the fund involves interest rate fluctuations: an increase in rates could diminish the value of its bond holdings, while a decrease might eventually lead to a reduction in the income generated by the portfolio. Given its focused investment approach within a specific duration segment of the fixed-income market, this fund can act as a valuable supplement to a primary bond allocation in an investor's overall portfolio.
Performance
VFICX had a total return of 4.81% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 4.88%.
