Our read on IVOV
BThe forgotten middle of the market, priced like an afterthought. IVOV tracks the S&P MidCap 400 Value Index, roughly 300 medium-sized US companies on the value side of the ledger, for 0.10% a year while the typical index wrapper charges far more.
The fund seeks to track the S&P MidCap 400 Value Index, a benchmark of medium-sized U.S. value companies.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.10% a year against a 0.45% median for the index funds we grade. Cost is the one edge in indexing you actually control.
- About 300 medium-sized US value names in one basket, sorted by S&P's published index rules rather than a manager's conviction.investor.vanguard.com
- Launched in 2010 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund. A settled Vanguard product with a long operating record, not a launch-year experiment.
- Sits in the upper tier of the index-tracking funds we grade, on cost, portfolio construction and staying power.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded for a Vanguard fund. Spreads can widen, so limit orders matter more here than with the mega-cap giants.
- Mid-cap value by design: no mega-cap ballast, and the growthier half of the mid-cap market is screened out. The ride diverges from an S&P 500 fund.fund-docs.vanguard.com
- Distributions arrive on an annual or semiannual schedule, not monthly, which shapes how income lands in a cash-flow plan.
