Our read on VTWV

ETF.net Research

In short

BVanguard's take on the unglamorous end of the market: roughly 1,400 small US companies screened onto the value side of the Russell 2000, for six basis points a year.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track the Russell 2000 Value Index, which represents U.S. small-capitalization value stocks.

Why people hold it

  • Costs 0.06% a year, about a third of the typical fee among US value ETFs and far below the 0.30% on the other fund citing the same declared index (DFSV).
  • Breadth over bets: about 1,400 names, the whole value half of the Russell 2000, so no single small-cap story drives the result.
  • Russell scores style by probability, so a borderline stock can sit partly in value and partly in growth instead of being forced across a hard line.lseg.com
  • Running since 2010 and tracking its benchmark tightly, it sits in the top quartile of its value-ETF peer group on our review.

Worth knowing

  • Small-cap value is the bumpy end of equities. This is one of the more volatile risk profiles in its value peer group, and drawdowns can be deep.
  • It trades thinly next to the household-name value ETFs, so spreads deserve attention and limit orders earn their keep.
  • Membership resets on the index's schedule, not a manager's judgment. Names move between value and growth at reconstitution.lseg.com
