FCFYDFirst Trust S&P 500 Diversified Free Cash Flow ETF

VOOVAVanguard S&P 500 Value ETF

In short

FCFY Free cash flow screening on the S&P 500, with a twist: the cash-generation ranking runs inside each sector, then sector weights are held near the parent index. A cash-flow tilt that still looks like the market it came from.

VOOV Vanguard takes the S&P 500, sorts it by value traits, and hands you the cheap half: roughly 400 familiar large caps, one published index, seven basis points. A value tilt without leaving the blue-chip universe.

Stated mandate

FCFY The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield of the S&P 500® Sector-Neutral FCF Index. It normally invests at least 80% of net assets in index securities and generally uses full replication.

VOOV The fund seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 Value Index.

Why people hold it

  • FCFY Sector-neutral by construction: the free cash flow screen is applied within sectors, so the portfolio keeps S&P 500-like sector weights instead of piling into whichever corner of the market is cash-rich this year.
  • Simple plumbing. A standard 1940 Act ETF that generally uses full replication and keeps at least 80% of net assets in index securities. No swaps, no sampling games.
  • Tighter than a broad index fund at roughly 100 stocks, so the cash-flow screen actually shows up in the portfolio. Distributions come on a quarterly cadence.
  • VOOV Charges 0.07% a year against a 0.45% median for its index-tracker peer group. The value tilt arrives without the usual factor-fund markup.
  • No manager discretion. It follows one published benchmark, the S&P 500 Value Index, holding roughly 400 large-cap names most investors already know.vanguard.com
  • Running since 2010 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it sits among the strongest implementations in its peer group of plain index wrappers.

Worth knowing

  • FCFY At 0.60% a year, it runs above the median fee for index-tracking ETFs in its peer group. Plain S&P 500 value funds such as SPYV (0.04%) and VOOV (0.07%) charge a small fraction of that.
  • A small fund that trades lightly. Spreads can be wider than on mega-cap index ETFs, which makes order type and timing more of a factor than the headline fee.
  • Launched in 2023, so the live record is short and covers only a narrow slice of market conditions.
  • VOOV SPYV tracks the same S&P 500 Value Index for 0.04%. Same benchmark, thinner fee.
  • You own one side of the index. When the growth half of the S&P 500 leads, this fund's path diverges from the headline benchmark.
  • Volume is moderate rather than heavy, so spreads can run wider than the busiest large-cap ETFs. Cash comes back quarterly, not monthly.
