Description

Vanguard Consumer Staples Index Fund ETF (VDC) invests in a broad range of U.S. equities that belong to the consumer staples sector, including large‑, mid‑ and small‑cap companies that produce food, beverages, household products, personal care items and retail staples. The fund follows a passive, index‑tracking strategy designed to replicate the MSCI US Investable Market Consumer Staples 25/50 Index, using full replication when possible and sampling when necessary, and remains fully invested in the underlying stocks. Its sector‑focused, low‑cost approach makes it a suitable option for investors who want defensive exposure to everyday consumer goods, seek diversification away from more cyclical industries, and prefer a stable, income‑oriented component within a broader equity portfolio.
