IJHAiShares Core S&P Mid-Cap ETF

MDYVBState Street SPDR S&P 400 Mid Cap Value 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.

MDYV The value half of the S&P MidCap 400: roughly 300 of the index's cheaper-looking names, sorted by rulebook rather than manager hunch. Live since 2005, and it has never pretended to be anything else.

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.

MDYV The Fund seeks to track the total return of an index representing medium-capitalization U.S. exchange-traded equities with value characteristics.

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

MDYV One job, and it's literal: the value sleeve of the S&P MidCap 400, tracked closely, with no manager discretion bolted on top.
0.15% a year, dead level with the median for S&P MidCap 400 funds, so the value screen arrives without a strategy-fund markup.
Running since 2005 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund spread across about 300 names, with cash paid out quarterly.

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.

MDYV Plain exposure to the same parent index costs less: SPMD at 0.03%, IJH at 0.05%. The value split is what the extra buys.
Moderately traded rather than one of the volume monsters in the mid-cap aisle, which matters more the bigger the order.
By design it owns the value side and leaves the growth names of the 400 to its sibling, so it moves differently from the full index.
