Our read on IVOG
AThe growth half of the S&P MidCap 400, wrapped by Vanguard for a tenth of a percent. About 240 medium-size US companies chosen by a published growth screen, in a plain index fund priced well under the typical index wrapper.
The fund seeks to track the S&P MidCap 400 Growth Index, which represents medium-size U.S. growth companies.
Why people hold it
- 0.10% a year against a 0.45% median for index-wrapper peers. Fee is the one input you actually control, and this one stays small.
- Fills the mid-cap gap most portfolios skip: roughly 240 medium-size US companies sorted by S&P's growth and momentum screen, not a manager's hunch.investor.vanguard.com
- Trading since 2010, and built as an ETF share class of Vanguard's S&P Mid-Cap 400 Growth Index Fund, so the ETF and the mutual fund run off one portfolio.investor.vanguard.com
- One of the tightest label-to-portfolio matches among the index wrappers we track: it holds the index it advertises, with no side quests.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded next to the big broad-market names, so bid/ask spreads can be wider and order type matters more.
- Mid-cap growth moves harder than the total market in both directions. This is one slice of US equity, not a whole-market holding.
- Income is an afterthought here: distributions land once or twice a year, not quarterly.
