Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

HDUSBHartford Disciplined US Equity ETF

VVAVanguard Morningstar Large-Cap ETF

In short

HDUS A core US large-cap holding with a factor engine under the hood: Hartford's own index rules tilt toward value, momentum and quality while leashing how far the portfolio can drift from the cap-weighted market.

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

HDUS The fund seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the total return of an index tracking exchange-traded U.S. large-cap equity securities.

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

  • HDUS Rules-based multifactor selection across value, momentum and quality, run through an optimizer that targets a lower volatility level and controlled drift from the cap-weighted universe.hartfordfunds.com
  • Built in-house: the index methodology comes from Lattice Strategies, a Hartford Funds subsidiary, and the portfolio is reshuffled on a set schedule twice a year rather than at a manager's whim.hartfordfunds.cometfexpress.com
  • Spreads the bet across roughly 300 US large caps and pays quarterly, and it does what the prospectus says it does: US large-cap equity, index-tracked, no style wandering.
  • Lands in the upper half of a two-dozen-fund US large-cap peer group, which is respectable company for a smart-beta build competing against plain vanilla trackers.
  • 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

  • HDUS 0.19% a year is above the typical fee in its large-cap group and several times the 0.03% charged by plain cap-weighted rivals like SCHX and VV. That is the toll for the factor machinery.
  • Small asset base and light trading versus the household-name trackers, so spreads and order size matter more here than with the giants.
  • The factor tilts mean it can diverge from a plain cap-weighted large-cap index in either direction, and the live record only dates to its 2022 launch.hartfordfunds.com
  • 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.comvanguard.com 2
