- Vanguard Consumer Staples Index Fund Admiral Shares (VCSAX) is a mutual fund that employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Index/Consumer Staples 25/50, comprising stocks of large-, mid-, and small-cap U.S. companies within the consumer staples sector as classified under the Global Industry Classification Standard; the fund seeks to replicate the index by investing all or substantially all of its assets in the component stocks in approximate proportion to their index weightings. Launched on January 30, 2004, the fund is managed by Vanguard Group, Inc., headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania, and operates primarily in the United States with total assets under management of approximately $8.3 billion as of late 2025, featuring an adjusted expense ratio of 0.10%, a minimum initial investment of $100,000, and a portfolio turnover rate of 9%. Its top holdings include Walmart Inc. (14.11%), Costco Wholesale Corp. (12.78%), Procter & Gamble Co. (11.06%), Coca-Cola Co. (8.15%), and Philip Morris International Inc. (4.60%), representing 65.7% of assets concentrated in consumer defensive names. In recent developments, Vanguard appointed Chris Nieves as portfolio manager effective February 2025, amid broader firm-wide leadership changes across 44 funds in June 2025 that removed certain co-managers to streamline oversight; additionally, Vanguard underwent a significant organizational restructuring in mid-2025, dividing its fund lineup into Vanguard Capital Management and Vanguard Portfolio Management teams to address growth challenges and ETF demand. The fund maintains a Morningstar Gold Medalist rating, supported by its low costs, above-average process and people pillars, and high parent pillar from Vanguard's client-focused model under CEO Salim Ramji.
