About VSTCX
The fund invests in small-capitalization domestic equity securities based on the advisor's assessment of the relative return potential of the securities. The advisor selects securities that it believes offer an appropriate balance between strong growth prospects and reasonable valuations relative to their industry peers. The advisor does this by using a quantitative process to evaluate all of the securities in the benchmark, the MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index, while seeking to maintain a risk profile similar to that of the index. At least 80% of its assets will be invested in small-cap equity securities.
