100k usd to deploy from car sale proceeds (I dont need this money in 25 years) – Dumping in utilities a good bet?

Hi All,

I was thinking of dumping 100K into VPU (Vanguards US Utilities Index fund) and I was wondering whether it made sense today. If we are indeed going into a recession, I would say utilities would flourish given its a defensive commodity. Should we go into a bull market (which I dont think so), Utility stocks are relatively price stable and that would allow myself to redeploy capital if required.

Would this make sense or not at all?

Thanks!
