Vanguard Primecap's avoidance of companies with relatively high price multiples and rapid historical earnings growth has helped it curb losses during the global equity market selloff that began near 2022’s start. For the year to date through June 8, 2022, the fund’s admiral shares slid 10.9%, a result within the large-blend Morningstar Category that was 2.2 percentage points better than the S&P 500’s decline and that bested most peers.
