The 2008 test

Would VTIAX survive 2008?

VTIAX (Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares) launched in 2010-11 — after the 2008 financial crisis — so there is no real 2008 data for it, and we won't invent any.

What you can do: the stress-testing tool estimates how VTIAX would respond to a 2008-style shock from its measured sensitivities to stocks and rates, and replays the crashes it has actually lived through.
