Our read on VSMV
DMost minimum-volatility funds hand the whole market to a volatility optimizer. VSMV screens first, keeping stocks that rate well on earnings quality, momentum, profitability and valuation, then optimizes only those survivors for the smoothest ride.
The Fund seeks to track the Nasdaq Victory US Multi-Factor Minimum Volatility Index before fees and expenses.
Why people hold it
- Two-step build: a fundamental factor screen picks the roster, then weights are set by how the chosen stocks correlate with each other, inside sector and position constraints.advisor.vcm.com
- Roughly 60 large- and mid-cap names, so the low-volatility tilt shows up in the portfolio instead of being diluted across hundreds of positions.advisor.vcm.com
- Pays monthly, a cadence more common in bond funds than equity ones. The index reconstitutes semi-annually, so the roster is not churning every month.advisor.vcm.com
Worth knowing
- 0.42% a year is roughly double the low-volatility category median, and several times what QLV (0.09%) or LGLV (0.12%) charge for a similar brief.
- Small and thinly traded next to shelf giants like USMV, so bid-ask spreads can run wider and large orders move the price more.
- Screening on fundamentals before optimizing means the holdings can look quite different from a plain minimum-volatility index in any given stretch.advisor.vcm.com
