About VICEX
USA Mutuals Vice Fund Investor Class is a mutual fund designed to pursue long-term capital growth by investing primarily in companies operating within so-called "vice industries." The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets to equity securities of firms that derive significant revenue from the alcoholic beverages, defense/aerospace, gaming, and tobacco sectors. It maintains a concentrated approach, with at least 25% of assets invested across these four industries, but limits exposure to no more than 80% in any single industry. The portfolio is globally diversified, typically holding stocks from both U.S. and international companies, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). Notable features include a relatively concentrated portfolio structure and a focus on industries that can face unique regulatory and social challenges. The Vice Fund offers investors targeted access to sectors that are often resilient in varying economic conditions and generally considered to have significant barriers to entry. Since its inception in 2002, this fund has served as a distinctive option for those seeking exposure outside conventional socially responsible investing themes, reflecting its niche within the broader global equity market landscape.
Performance
VICEX had a total return of 16.93% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 8.04%.
