About VSCPX

Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund Institutional Plus Shares is a mutual fund that provides comprehensive exposure to small-capitalization U.S. equities. The fund’s primary objective is to track the performance of the CRSP US Small Cap Index, a well-diversified benchmark representing small domestic companies across various sectors. Utilizing an indexing approach, the fund holds a broad portfolio of over 1,300 stocks, aiming to replicate the composition and returns of its benchmark as closely as possible. Noted for its exceptionally low expense ratio, the fund is designed for institutional investors and requires a substantial minimum initial investment. Its portfolio construction allows it to include both traditional small-cap stocks and, uniquely, fast-growing firms that have recently moved into the mid-cap range, thereby capturing more of the growth potential within the small-cap universe. The fund distributes dividends quarterly and is recognized for maintaining low portfolio turnover, reflecting its passive management style. Within the U.S. equity arena, the fund plays a significant role by offering efficient, cost-effective access to the growth and diversification potential that small-cap stocks can provide to large investment portfolios.
