About VMNVX
The fund invests primarily in U.S. and foreign stocks that are expected to minimize volatility relative to the global equity market. To reduce volatility, the fund will consider stocks’ risk and diversification characteristics and seek to hedge away most of the currency exposure resulting from its foreign stock holdings. While the fund’s goal is to limit the volatility of global stock investing, we caution against expecting any low or minimum volatility investment to outperform, or even match, the global equity market over the long term. It is reasonable for investors to expect, on average, for a minimum volatility fund to outperform the overall global market in sharp downturns and trail the market in strong bull markets.
Performance
VMNVX had a total return of 16.88% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 13.93%.
