About VMNVX

Vanguard Global Minimum Volatility Fund Admiral Shares is a mutual fund designed to deliver long-term capital appreciation while aiming to keep portfolio volatility lower than that of the broader global equity market. This fund primarily invests in a diversified selection of large-cap stocks from both U.S. and international markets, representing multiple sectors and regions worldwide. The strategy focuses on selecting stocks expected to exhibit lower price fluctuations, and it generally hedges most foreign currency exposure back to the U.S. dollar to further stabilize returns. The fund features a low expense ratio of 0.14% and requires a minimum initial investment of $50,000. Its holdings span over 270 companies, with notable positions in sectors such as healthcare, technology, industrials, and consumer defensive. With assets of over $2 billion, this fund occupies a significant role in the global large-stock blend category, offering investors exposure to international equities with a risk-mitigated profile. Vanguard Global Minimum Volatility Fund Admiral Shares serves investors seeking international diversification without the full volatility typically associated with global stock markets.
