The substantial asset size and moderate price point suggest significant investor adoption relative to the small category size. These metrics position VIS as a widely held vehicle within its specific sector classification.
Short-term performance shows a decline with a one-day return of -1.13% and a one-week return of -3.56%. However, the trend reverses over longer horizons, posting a one-month return of +2.43% and a three-month return of +9.73%. Year-to-date gains stand at +14.67%, while the six-month return reaches +12.94%. The one-year return is recorded at +23.92%, and the three-year return totals +72.38%. This pattern indicates a shift from recent short-term weakness to sustained positive momentum over the past year and three years. The data reflects a trajectory where longer-term accumulation has outpaced recent weekly fluctuations.
The fund carries a Moderate volatility label and a beta of 1.10, indicating price movements that are slightly more sensitive than the broader market. A Sharpe ratio of 1.07 suggests the fund has generated a favorable risk-adjusted return relative to its volatility. Despite these positive metrics, the maximum drawdown reached -20.80%, highlighting the potential for significant temporary losses during market downturns. The combination of a beta above 1.0 and a moderate volatility label implies the fund tends to amplify market moves in both directions. Investors should note that while the Sharpe ratio reflects efficient compensation for risk taken, the max drawdown figure underscores the magnitude of downside exposure experienced historically.
