Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

LVHD—Franklin U.S. Low Volatility High Dividend Index ETF

MGVAVanguard Morningstar Mega Cap Value ETF

In short

LVHD No data

MGV Most "value" ETFs slide down into mid caps. MGV stays at the very top of the US market and buys the value half of it for five basis points. Vanguard's plain, cheap way to own the old-guard giants.

Stated mandate

LVHD No data

MGV The ETF seeks to track the Morningstar US Mega Cap Value Index and provides passive, diversified exposure to the largest value stocks in the U.S. market.

Why people hold it

LVHD No data

  • MGV At 0.05% it is the cheapest fund in its factor peer group, where the median charges 0.28%. It undercuts fellow top-rated peers SIZE (0.15%) and SUSA (0.25%).vanguard.com
  • Launched December 2007, straight into the crash, and now a multi-billion-dollar fund. Long history, quarterly distributions, Vanguard plumbing behind it.
  • One of the strongest overall showings in its US factor peer group, built on cost and staying power rather than a clever screen.

Worth knowing

LVHD No data

  • MGV About 130 names, all mega caps. The biggest holdings carry real weight, and small and mid caps are absent by design.
  • It tracks a Morningstar index of the largest US value stocks, so it leaves out the market's growth giants and can move very differently from a total-market fund.vanguard.com
  • Moderately traded rather than a household-name ticker, so limit orders and mid-session trading matter more here than with the very largest index ETFs.
