The portfolio of former United States Vice President Kamala Harris has experienced a turbulent run since her election loss back in November 2024.
On the whole, most of her bets have declined despite her portfolio being heavily weighted in diversified index funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF (IEFA)
IEFA, which tracks the MSCI EAFE Investable Market Index, covering large, mid, and small-cap stocks from developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada, showed modest gains over the past few months.
On November 4, the fund traded at $73. By April 16, 2025, it increased to $74.82, marking a 2.49% rise. This uptick hints at possible strength in international equities when U.S. counterparts are experiencing significant volatility.
Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTSAX)
Capturing nearly the entire U.S. stock market across all capitalizations, VTSAX has had a rough ride. It dropped from $134 in early November 2024 to $128.38 by mid-April 2025, a decline of 4.19%, pointing to broad-based challenges in the domestic market, potentially triggered by post-election policy uncertainties.
Dodge & Cox Stock Fund (DODGX)
As a fund focused heavily on large-cap value stocks, DODGX wasn’t spared from the turbulence. Its performance often reflects sector-specific or value stock trends. Starting at $273 on November 4, 2024, it tumbled to $245 by April 16, 2025, a sharp 10.26% loss.
Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index Fund ETF (VBR)
Small-cap value stocks also took a significant hit, translating to losses for Harris’ portfolio. Notably, VBR, which tracks a U.S. small-cap value index, slipped from $199 to $173 over the timeframe, a decline of 13.07%. The loss may signal investor skepticism toward smaller companies, which are often more vulnerable in a volatile economic environment.
iShares Broad USD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (USIG)
USIG, tied to the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index, recorded a slight pullback. It traded at $51 in November 2024 and stood at $50 by April 2025, a 1.96% dip.
In general, Harris’s portfolio has struggled since her failed White House bid, with four out of five holdings posting losses. However, this performance is not necessarily linked to the election outcome, as the broader market has been hit with massive volatility amid rising unease over trade tariffs.
