About VSTCX
This actively managed fund offers broad exposure to domestic small-capitalization stocks that the advisor believes have above-average return potential. The advisor relies on a computer-driven stock selection process in an attempt to build a portfolio with risk characteristics similar to those of the fund’s comparative index, while seeking to provide better returns. One of the fund’s risks is its focus on small-cap companies, which can be a volatile segment of the market. As a result, the fund’s returns may vary widely from year to year. An investor with a well-balanced, long-term portfolio who seeks exposure to small-cap companies may wish to consider this fund.
Performance
VSTCX had a total return of 29.46% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 8.67%.
