Risks

Who it may suit

VTV may interest investors researching diversified exposure to US large-company shares selected for value characteristics. Australian investors may also wish to consider the fund’s US-dollar denomination, US market concentration and sector mix when assessing how it fits alongside other investments. This is general information, not personal financial advice.

Key risks

VTV remains exposed to share-market volatility and can underperform other investment styles, including when value shares are out of favour. Its allocation is concentrated in US companies, particularly financial services, and a limited number of holdings contribute meaningfully to returns. Australian investors also face AUD–USD exchange-rate risk. Past returns and the supplied dividend yield are not guarantees of future outcomes.
