EPSAWisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Fund

IWBAiShares Russell 1000 ETF

In short

EPS Large-cap core with a profit filter. Roughly 500 U.S. companies, all of them earnings generators, tracked since 2007 for 0.08% a year. Same plumbing as a plain index fund, with a screen most of them skip.

IWB The Russell 1000 in one ticker: US large caps plus the mid-cap tier underneath them. IWB has tracked that index since 2000, making it the veteran of the group, though newer clones now chase the same benchmark for less.

Stated mandate

EPS The fund seeks to track earnings-generating large-cap companies in the U.S. equity market.

IWB The fund seeks to track the Russell 1000 Index and provides broad exposure to U.S. large- and mid-cap stocks.

Why people hold it

EPS The screen is the whole point: the index holds large U.S. companies that actually generate earnings, so unprofitable names do not ride in on market cap alone.wisdomtree.com
0.08% a year, under the median for its large-cap peer group, and it still spreads across roughly 500 stocks.
Running since 2007 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it has tracked its index tightly and ranks in the top quartile of its large-cap cohort.
Pays out quarterly, the standard cadence for a core equity holding.

IWB One holding covers the Russell 1000, broad exposure to US large- and mid-cap stocks, so the megacap names and the tier below them arrive together.ishares.com
Trading since May 2000 and still actively traded, which is what keeps bid-ask spreads thin for everyday buyers.
Follows its index very closely, one of the tightest index-following records in its large-cap peer group.
A multi-billion-dollar iShares fund with a quarterly distribution schedule and no exotic structure: a plain 1940 Act ETF.

Worth knowing

EPS It trades thinly for the category, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the heavily traded core names in the group.
Cheaper shelf-mates exist: SCHX and VV charge 0.03%, BKLC charges nothing. The earnings screen is what the extra basis points buy.
Screening on earnings means the portfolio can look different from a plain cap-weighted large-cap index, and its results will drift from that benchmark in both directions.

IWB At 0.15% a year it sits above the peer median. VONE tracks the same Russell 1000 for 0.06%, and SCHX and VV run large-cap core mandates at 0.03%.
All equity, all US. There are no bonds or overseas names inside to soften a domestic large-cap drawdown.
