Investors in VNLA may

  • Want to put cash to work to seek a steady income stream
  • Seek higher returns on cash than a money market fund
  • Place high priority on capital preservation
  • Be looking to diversify their fixed income allocation
  • Want intra-day liquidity for near-term needs

The Fund may be subject to greater investment risk than a money market fund.

In Your Portfolio

VNLA's targeted absolute return, coupled with a focus on risk, make it an attractive option for investors. By keeping duration low, the Fund seeks to minimize interest rate risk.
