On this page you'll find an in-depth profile of Vanguard 500 Index Institutional Select Shares. Learn about the key management, total assets, investment strategy and contact information of VFFSX among other information.

Investment Strategy

The investment seeks to track the performance of the Standard & Poor‘s 500 Index that measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks. The fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, a widely recognized benchmark of U.S. stock market performance that is dominated by the stocks of large U.S. companies. The advisor attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index. The fund is non-diversified.

I invested with you in inception to provide me with an investment alternative to the stock market. The fund’s returns have been impressive, reliable, and have met or exceeded expectations. Another key factor for me is that your company are extremely responsive to any questions or concerns I have and their ethics and transparency shown in everything they do and say. God bless you sir for your guidelines.
