JHSCCJohn Hancock Multifactor Small Cap ETF

VONVAVanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF

In short

JHSC Dimensional Fund Advisors built the index; John Hancock put it in an ETF wrapper. JHSC holds roughly 500 US small caps, leaning toward the cheaper and more profitable ones, with a 4% cap on any single company.

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

JHSC The fund seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the John Hancock Dimensional Small Cap Index.

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

JHSC The rulebook comes from Dimensional Fund Advisors, the firm that turned academic factor research into a business. Weights tilt toward smaller, cheaper, more profitable names; high-priced, low-profit stocks are generally screened out.jhinvestments.com
Roughly 500 stocks with a 4% ceiling on any one company at reconstitution. Single-name blowups land softly in a basket this wide.jhinvestments.com
Among the smallest companies, the index also drops names with relatively high asset growth. That is a third screen on top of the value and profitability tilts, not a marketing label.jhinvestments.com
Mechanical and public: the index reconstitutes and rebalances semiannually, with no manager calling audibles, and the fund has run on these rules since its 2017 launch.jhinvestments.com

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

JHSC The fee is 0.42% net of a waiver through July 31, 2027 (0.45% gross), above the category median and well above plain-vanilla factor peers such as VONV at 0.06% and LRGF at 0.08%.
It trades thinly next to the category's heavyweights, so bid/ask spreads can run wider and large orders need more care.
Those screens are the whole point, and they mean the portfolio can drift from a plain small-cap index in either direction for stretches at a time.jhinvestments.com

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.
