Vanguard Small Cap Index Fund NAESX NASDAQ

Vanguard Small Cap Index Fund is a passively managed investment fund that tracks the performance of the CRSP US Small Cap Index, which represents a broad portfolio of small-capitalization U.S. companies. The fund employs an indexing strategy, investing substantially all of its assets directly in the stocks comprising the target index while maintaining weightings that mirror the index composition. By replicating the index holdings and proportions, the fund aims to deliver returns that closely align with small-cap market performance while minimizing costs associated with active management.
