Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

BBUSBJPMorgan BetaBuilders U.S. Equity ETF

VTHRBVanguard Russell 3000 ETF

In short

BBUS JPMorgan's two-basis-point answer to the total-market question: it undercuts the household-name index funds on fee, then holds a tighter book of roughly 500 large and mid caps instead of reaching for the whole market's tail.

VTHR Most 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.

Stated mandate

BBUS The fund seeks broad U.S. equity exposure through an indexed, passive approach tracking the Morningstar US Target Market Exposure Index.

VTHR 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

  • BBUS 0.02% a year makes it the cheapest fund in its total-market cohort, under the 0.03% charged by VTI, SCHB and ITOT and well under the 0.06% cohort median.
  • Plain passive plumbing: it follows the Morningstar US Target Market Exposure Index with very little drift, no factor tilts and no manager discretion in the mix.jpmorgan.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund backed by J.P. Morgan's ETF desk, listed since 2019 and paying distributions quarterly.
  • VTHR 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.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

  • BBUS "US equity" here means roughly 500 large and mid cap names, so the deep small-cap tail that the broadest funds in this group carry is thinner.jpmorgan.com
  • Volume is moderate rather than heavy for the category, so spreads can run wider than at the most heavily traded total-market names.
  • A 2019 launch gives it a shorter live record than the total-market veterans it undercuts on price.
  • VTHR 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.vanguard.com
