About VWINX
Launched 40 years ago, this income-centric balanced fund offers investors a blend of equities and high-quality bonds. Diverging from the typical balanced fund structure that often favors stocks, this portfolio distinctively allocates approximately two-thirds of its assets to bonds and one-third to stocks. Its equity component strategically targets companies with a proven track record of significant dividend payments or strong prospects for increasing their dividends. This specialized focus is designed to deliver more substantial quarterly income distributions than balanced funds without a primary income mandate. It serves as an ideal core holding for individuals with a medium-to-long-term outlook who prioritize consistent income and are comfortable with moderate fluctuations in share value.
Performance
VWINX had a total return of 9.19% in the past year, including dividends. Since the fund's inception, the average annual return has been 7.52%.
