QGROBAmerican Century U.S. Quality Growth ETF

VONVAVanguard Russell 1000 Value ETF

In short

QGRO Plenty of growth funds pay any price for growth. QGRO tracks an index that screens U.S. large- and mid-caps on quality, growth and valuation together, roughly 190 names, for 0.29% a year.

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

QGRO The fund seeks exposure to U.S. large- and mid-capitalization companies selected for attractive quality, growth and valuation characteristics.

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

  • QGRO The screen is a three-part filter, not a momentum chase: quality, growth and valuation characteristics all feed the American Century U.S. Quality Growth Index that the fund follows.americancentury.com
  • 0.29% a year sits under the typical multifactor fund's fee, and you get an active-shop screen wrapped in a rules-based index.
  • It does what the label says: the portfolio hews closely to its stated index, with tight, easy trading and over a billion dollars in assets behind it.
  • Live since 2018 with a quarterly distribution, so it has a real multi-cycle record rather than a backtest.
  • 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

  • QGRO Cheap beta is cheaper. IUSG runs 0.04% and FNDX 0.25% for their own large-cap tilts, so you are paying up for the multi-factor screen.
  • A growth tilt held in about 190 names carries more swing than a total-market fund. Its risk profile is the weakest link in an otherwise upper-half showing.
  • It is a style sleeve, not a whole portfolio: the mandate is U.S. large- and mid-caps only, no international or small-cap exposure.
  • 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.
