About VUIAX

This low-cost index fund offers exposure to the utilities sector of the U.S. equity market, which includes stocks of companies that distribute electricity, water, or gas, or that operate as independent power producers. The fund’s main risk is its narrow scope—it invests solely in utilities stocks. An investor should expect high volatility from the fund, which should be considered only as a small portion of an already well-diversified portfolio.
