About VIHAX
This fund offers investors a low cost way to gain exposure to international companies that are forecasted to have higher-than-average dividend yields. The fund seeks to track a market cap weighted benchmark of stocks in both developed and emerging economies outside the United States. Because it invests in non-U.S. stocks, the fund can be more volatile than a domestic fund. The fund’s emphasis on slower-growing, higher-yielding companies can also mean that its total return may not be as strong in a significant bull market. This income-focused fund may be appropriate for investors who have a long-term investment goal and a tolerance for stock market volatility.
