VIOOAVanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 ETF

In short

SCOW No data

VIOO Vanguard's version of the S&P SmallCap 600: it owns all of the index's roughly 600 names at index weight, no sampling shortcuts, for 0.07% a year. That is well under half the typical fee among S&P 600 index funds, and it has been running since 2010.

Stated mandate

SCOW No data

VIOO The fund is a passively managed, full-replication ETF designed to follow the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, which represents small U.S. companies. It holds the index constituents in the same capitalization weights.

Why people hold it

SCOW No data

VIOO Charges 0.07% a year against a peer-group median near 0.18% for funds built on the same small-cap index.
Full replication, not sampling: it holds about 600 index constituents at their index weights, and it tracks the S&P SmallCap 600 very closely.
Trading since 2010 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it ranks among the stronger implementations in its S&P 600 peer group.

Worth knowing

SCOW No data

VIOO Two rivals on the identical index undercut it: SPSM at 0.03% and IJR at 0.06%. Thin gaps, but gaps that compound.
Moderately traded rather than the volume leader of the trio, so spreads carry more weight on big or rushed orders.
This is undiluted small-cap equity. The mandate is to mirror that index, bumps included, not to smooth it out.
