FNDXASchwab Fundamental U.S. Large Company ETF

VONVAVanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF

In short

FNDX A large-cap fund that refuses to size positions by stock price. FNDX weights about 700 U.S. companies by fundamental measures of business size, tilting toward value and profitability instead of whatever the market just bid up.

VONV The plain-vanilla value trade, done cheap: about 900 large US value stocks, full replication of the Russell 1000 Value Index, 0.06% a year. No factor cocktail, no premium price tag, and one of the strongest implementations in its factor peer group.

Stated mandate

FNDX The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, an index representing large U.S. companies weighted according to fundamental size measures.

VONV The fund seeks to track the Russell 1000 Value Index, representing large-capitalization value stocks in the United States. It uses passive indexing and full replication to remain closely aligned with that benchmark.

Why people hold it

  • FNDX Weights holdings by fundamental size rather than market cap, so a position grows with the business, not with the crowd. The RAFI screen leans on profitability and value.
  • At 0.25% a year, it undercuts the typical fund in its multifactor peer group (median 0.32%).
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, making it one of the easier names in its category to move in and out of. It has tracked its index tightly since launching in 2013.
  • Fully rules-based and passive: the index does the picking and rebalancing, with no manager discretion in the mix. One of the stronger implementations in its peer group.
  • VONV 0.06% a year, a fraction of the typical fee among factor ETFs. On a rules-based value index there is little room for cleverness, so cost does most of the work.vanguard.com
  • Full replication, not sampling: it owns the index's roughly 900 names and has stayed tightly aligned with the Russell 1000 Value benchmark since launching in 2010.
  • Same Russell benchmark as pricier rivals for less: the Goldman MarketBeta version (GVUS) charges 0.12% to track the identical value index.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, among the easiest in its group to get in and out of, and it distributes quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • FNDX Plain-vanilla alternatives cost far less: VONV runs 0.06% and VYM 0.04%. The fundamental weighting engine is what you pay the extra for.
  • The value and profitability tilt means the portfolio can look very different from a cap-weighted large-cap index, especially when the largest growth names dominate.
  • Income arrives quarterly, not monthly, and the mandate targets fundamentals rather than yield.
  • VONV One screen, one style. Value only, with no quality or momentum overlay, so the ride follows the value side of the market wherever it goes.vanguard.com
  • This is the entire value bucket, not a best-ideas portfolio. About 900 holdings means results hug the large-cap value category rather than stray from it.
  • Cheaper exists nearby: Vanguard's VYM charges 0.04%, but it screens for dividend yield, a different portfolio than a Russell value index.
