Description: VDC Vanguard Consumer Staples November 04, 2025
The Vanguard Consumer Staples Index Fund ETF (VDC) seeks to replicate the performance of a GICS-defined consumer staples index by holding the constituent stocks in proportion to their index weights. It targets large, mid-size, and small U.S. companies classified as “consumer defensive,” and the fund’s portfolio is essentially a full replication of the index, making it a non-diversified vehicle that tracks the sector’s overall return.
Key metrics (as of the latest filing) include an expense ratio of 0.10%, total assets under management of roughly $30 billion, and a dividend yield near 2.5%. The top holdings are typically household-name brands such as Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, and PepsiCo, which together account for about 30% of the fund’s weight. Economic drivers for this sector include consumer confidence trends, inflation-adjusted food and beverage pricing power, and the relative stability of demand for essential goods during economic downturns.
