About this fund
Fund objectives
Vanguard Consumer Staples ETF seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of consumer staples stocks.
Why this fund
- Seeks to track the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Consumer Staples 25/50 Index.
- Multicapitalization equity in the consumer staples sector.
- Employs a passively managed, full-replication strategy when possible.
- If regulatory constraints prevent full replication, the fund uses a sampling strategy to approximate the index’s key characteristics. (The fund is currently sampling the index.)
- The fund remains fully invested.
- Low expenses minimize net tracking error.
