Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

EPSAWisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Fund

VVAVanguard Morningstar Large-Cap 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.

VV Vanguard'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.

Stated mandate

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

VV 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

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.

VV 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.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.vanguard.com
Cost, tracking and staying power put it in the top tier of a crowded 24-fund large-cap cohort.

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.

VV Market-cap weighted, so the biggest US companies (and their sector tilts) carry most of the weight.vanguard.com
The index stops at the top 85% of US investable market cap: mid- and small-cap names sit outside it.vanguard.com
After Morningstar acquired CRSP, the benchmark and the fund name picked up the Morningstar label. Same index, same fund.vanguard.com vanguard.com 2

How we measure overlap

Each holding counts at its smaller weight in the two funds, summed over the full Holdings. Sector, country and asset class use the same rule on each fund’s split. Cash, FX and derivative lines stay out of the counts. Two bond funds get no overlap figure.
