This fund allocates capital to shares of major American corporations, specifically those found in market segments that tend to grow more slowly than the general market, and whose valuations may be temporarily overlooked by investors. As an affordable index fund, it adopts a long-term, buy-and-hold methodology, aiming to mirror its underlying benchmark by investing in substantially all its constituent securities. While subject to the usual volatility of the stock market, the fund's main risk stems from the possibility that its concentration on large-capitalization value stocks could occasionally lead to underperformance compared to the broader market.
