Description: VDC Consumer Staples Shares January 07, 2026
The Vanguard Consumer Staples Index Fund ETF (NYSE ARCA: VDC) follows a passive indexing strategy that seeks to mirror the performance of its benchmark-a GICS-defined consumer staples index comprising large, mid-size, and small U.S. companies. The fund attempts to hold each constituent in roughly the same proportion as its index weight, investing virtually all of its assets in those stocks; consequently, it is classified as a non-diversified ETF.
Key metrics as of the latest filing: an expense ratio of 0.10 % (well below the industry average of ~0.30 % for sector ETFs), total assets of roughly $30 billion, and a top-10 holding concentration of about 35 % (with leaders such as Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, and Walmart). The consumer staples sector is historically defensive, showing lower volatility during economic downturns, but its performance is still sensitive to real-income growth, inflation-adjusted pricing power, and shifts in consumer confidence-particularly the “necessities” sub-segment that tends to outperform when discretionary spending contracts.
