VFLO's quarterly reconstitution took effect Monday, substituting 13/50 holdings mostly in favor of Health Care and at the expense of Technology. Despite this shakeup, VFLO's quality and value features remain solid. VFLO's estimated sales and earnings growth rates also improved due to its Index's secondary growth screen. Investors should consider VFLO's extreme concentration, as it's only a 50-stock fund, with 70% allocated to three sectors. One of those has poor long-term risk-adjusted returns.
