Our read on VTHR
BMost total-market ETFs track CRSP or S&P benchmarks. VTHR tracks the Russell 3000, the yardstick a lot of institutions actually report against, and charges 0.06% a year to do it.
The fund uses an indexing approach to track the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 98% of the U.S. equity market.
Why people hold it
- The cheap seat on the Russell 3000: 0.06% a year, against 0.20% for IWV, the other ETF built on the same index.
- One line item covers roughly 98% of the investable US equity market, mega caps down through small caps.workplace.vanguard.com
- Vanguard has run it since 2010 with tracking that stays very tight to the index, so what lands in your account is the benchmark less a thin fee.
- Plain vanilla plumbing: an index fund in a standard 1940 Act ETF wrapper, paying distributions quarterly.
Worth knowing
- Vanguard's own VTI covers nearly the same market for 0.03%. The extra basis points here buy you the Russell index specifically.
- It trades thinly next to the giants in the total-market aisle, so limit orders and avoiding the open and close matter more.
- The Russell 3000 rebuilds its membership on an annual reconstitution schedule, so index changes arrive on a calendar rather than continuously.workplace.vanguard.com
