Vanguard Mid-Cap Value In... (VMVAX)

About VMVAX

This low-cost index fund offers exposure to mid-capitalization U.S. value stocks. Value stocks are those that may be temporarily undervalued by investors. These companies typically grow at a slower pace than the broader group of mid-sized companies. One of the fund’s key risks is that mid-capitalization stocks tend to be more volatile than large-company stocks. Investors looking to add a passively managed, mid-cap value allocation to an already diversified portfolio may wish to consider this option.
