Our read on MSML
A wide net over small-cap America: roughly 1,600 stocks for four basis points, from a fund that has been running since 2004. The trade-off is a quieter tape than the category's household names.
The fund seeks to track an index composed of U.S. small-cap stocks.
Why people hold it
- 0.04% a year, against a 0.25% median for small-cap funds. Cheaper than IWM at 0.19% and within a basis point of the Vanguard and Schwab floor.
- Roughly 1,600 names in the Morningstar US Small Cap Extended Market Index, so no single small company carries much weight.
- Live since 2004, with a record spanning multiple full market cycles rather than one bull run.
- Plain-vanilla index plumbing: it has tracked its stated benchmark tightly and pays out quarterly.
Worth knowing
- Thinly traded relative to the giants in the aisle, so bid-ask spreads can be wider and limit orders matter more.
- Small caps move harder than large caps in both directions, and this one owns the smaller end of the market with no quality screen.
- VB and SCHA charge 0.03%, so the fee alone is not the tiebreaker in this group.
