Our read on VV
AVanguard's rules-based read on large cap: own whatever sits in the top 85% of the US market, about 500 names, for 0.03% a year. Running since 2004.
The fund seeks to track the CRSP US Large Cap Index through a passive, full-replication strategy focused predominantly on large U.S. companies diversified across growth and value styles.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.03% a year against a 0.14% median for its large-cap peer group. Among the cohort's top names, only SCHX matches that fee.
- Full replication: it buys every stock in the index at roughly index weight, and it has tracked that benchmark very closely.advisors.vanguard.com
- The ETF share class of a Vanguard index fund launched in 2004, now a multi-billion-dollar strategy with mutual fund siblings alongside it.advisors.vanguard.com
- Cost, tracking and staying power put it in the top tier of a crowded 24-fund large-cap cohort.
Worth knowing
- Market-cap weighted, so the biggest US companies (and their sector tilts) carry most of the weight.advisors.vanguard.com
- The index stops at the top 85% of US investable market cap: mid- and small-cap names sit outside it.advisors.vanguard.com
- After Morningstar acquired CRSP, the benchmark and the fund name picked up the Morningstar label. Same index, same fund.fund-docs.vanguard.comadvisors.vanguard.com
