Overview

The Vanguard Industrials Index Fund ETF Shares (VIS) operates within the Industrials category, which ETFValuer tracks with a total of nine funds. Issued by Vanguard, this fund has accumulated assets under management of $9.03 billion and trades at a price of $349.49. It holds an overall rank of #168 out of 458 tracked ETFs across all categories and has received an ETFValuer grade of B with a score of 65.2 out of 100. The fund offers an expense ratio of 0.09% and provides a dividend yield of 0.63%. The substantial asset size and low cost structure suggest significant investor adoption relative to the category average. These metrics position VIS as a widely held option within the industrials sector despite its mid-tier overall ranking.

Over the last day, the fund declined by 0.55% before recovering with a 1.43% gain over the one-week period. Monthly performance showed a contraction of 0.85%, yet the three-month return accelerated to a positive 4.20%. This upward momentum continued into the six-month horizon with a 9.82% return, while year-to-date gains reached 15.31%. The one-year return stood at 19.45%, and the three-year return demonstrated a cumulative gain of 72.19%. The data indicates a divergence where short-term fluctuations occurred before establishing a strong multi-year growth trajectory.

VIS carries a moderate volatility label and a beta of 1.10, indicating that the fund tends to move slightly more than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 0.82 suggests the fund has generated a moderate amount of excess return per unit of risk taken. The maximum drawdown recorded was -20.80%, reflecting the peak-to-trough decline experienced during a downturn. This combination of figures implies that while the fund participates actively in market movements, it has experienced significant temporary losses. The moderate volatility and beta suggest the fund is sensitive to industrial sector swings, while the Sharpe ratio indicates reasonable risk-adjusted performance over the measured period.

VIS Liquidity, Domicile & Tax Treatment

Liquidity: Quoted bid/ask spread is 11.39% and average daily volume is 85K/day. Tighter spreads and higher volume mean lower round-trip trading costs; this is a live-market snapshot and can widen during volatile sessions. AUM of $9.03B provides ample scale, supporting tight spreads and issuer commitment to keep the fund open.

Domicile & tax treatment: VIS is a US-domiciled, SEC-registered ('40 Act) exchange-traded fund. Dividends and capital gains distributions are reported to US investors on Form 1099-DIV, and the fund is not subject to the PFIC reporting or UCITS-specific rules that apply to Irish- or Luxembourg-domiciled funds. Non-US investors should note that US-domiciled ETFs are generally subject to 30% US withholding tax on dividends (unless reduced by treaty) and to US estate tax exposure on the position — Irish-domiciled UCITS ETFs tracking the same index often avoid both, which is why non-US residents frequently prefer the UCITS equivalent where one exists. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a tax professional for your situation.
