About this ETF
The Vanguard Communication Services ETF (VOX) endeavors to replicate the investment returns of a specific benchmark index, which gauges the financial performance of companies within the communication services industry. This fund employs a passive management approach, typically utilizing a full-replication strategy to mirror the index's holdings directly.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
