How it has done
VPMCX share class · total returns with dividends reinvested
Volatility over the last 12 months: 17.03%. Past returns are a record, not a forecast.
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
The 2 share classes hold the same portfolio
| Share class | Expense ratio | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | Worst fall |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.35% | +48.06% | +93.55% | +91.08% | -7.86% | |
| 0.27% | +48.18% | +93.97% | +91.77% | -7.85% |
These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 0.69pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 0.14pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
