VFVACVanguard U.S. Value Factor ETF

In short

SCHV No data

VFVA Most value ETFs slice the cheap half off a large-cap index. VFVA scores the whole US market, large caps down to small, for stocks trading low against their fundamentals, then holds roughly 600 of them for 0.13% a year.

Stated mandate

SCHV No data

VFVA Seeks long-term capital appreciation by primarily investing in U.S. common stocks selected for relatively low valuations compared with fundamentals.

Why people hold it

SCHV No data

  • VFVA The value screen runs across the full US market (its reference is the Russell 3000), so cheap small and mid caps sit beside the usual large-cap bargains.
  • 0.13% a year, below the 0.18% median for US value factor funds.
  • Roughly 600 holdings, so no single name carries the thesis. Distributions land quarterly.

Worth knowing

SCHV No data

  • VFVA It hunts cheap valuations rather than mirroring a value index, and the small and mid caps in the mix can swing harder than a large-cap-only value fund.
  • Cheap for a factor fund, not the cheapest thing on the value shelf: VTV charges 0.03% and SCHV 0.04% for plain large-cap value.
  • Trades lightly next to the giant value ETFs, so the spread is worth a look and limit orders earn their keep.
