IJHAiShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF

IVOOAVanguard S&P Mid-Cap 400 ETF

In short

IJH The mid-cap middle child, done cheap. IJH has tracked the S&P MidCap 400 since 2000 for five basis points, and it's one of the most heavily traded ways to own roughly 400 mid-sized US companies.

IVOO Four funds chase the S&P MidCap 400; this is the Vanguard one. About 400 mid-sized US companies at 0.07% a year, less than half what the typical fund on this index charges.

Stated mandate

IJH The fund seeks to track the S&P MidCap 400 Index and provide exposure to mid-sized U.S. companies. It is presented as a low-cost core portfolio holding.

IVOO The fund seeks to follow the performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Index.

Why people hold it

IJH Five basis points a year, about a third of the typical cost in its S&P 400 peer group, and a fraction of MDY's 0.23% for the very same index.
Running since 2000 and among the most actively traded funds in the mid-cap aisle, with assets in the multi-billions.
The mandate is one line: hold the S&P MidCap 400, roughly 400 mid-sized US companies. No tilts, no screens, no style drift. Pays quarterly.ishares.com
iShares built it as a core building block, and it sits among the strongest implementations of this index in its peer group.ishares.com

IVOO 0.07% a year, under half the going rate among funds tracking this same index. On a plain-vanilla wrapper, fee is most of the argument.vanguard.com
Holds roughly 400 mid-sized US companies, the tier above small caps and below the mega-cap names. No stock picking, no tilts, no sector bets.vanguard.com
Tracks the S&P MidCap 400 closely and does exactly what its prospectus says, one of the tighter implementations in this peer group.vanguard.com
Trading since 2010, with distributions paid quarterly. A multi-billion-dollar fund with a long track record behind the ticker.

Worth knowing

IJH It is not the cheapest seat: SPMD tracks the same index at 0.03%. Two basis points, if cost is your only tiebreaker.
Mid-caps only. No mega-cap ballast, no small caps, so this works as a sleeve beside a large-cap core rather than a whole US portfolio.
All US, all stocks. Nothing here diversifies you outside American equity markets.

IVOO Cheaper wrappers on the identical index exist: SPMD at 0.03% and IJH at 0.05%. Small gap, but it is a gap, and the index inside is the same.
Moderately traded rather than the volume king of the S&P 400 group, so spreads deserve a look on large or hurried orders.
All US, all mid-cap. No mega-cap ballast, no international exposure. This is one slice of a portfolio, not the whole plate.
