VOOVAVanguard S&P 500 Value ETF

WLDRCAffinity World Leaders Equity ETF

In short

VOOV Vanguard takes the S&P 500, sorts it by value traits, and hands you the cheap half: roughly 400 familiar large caps, one published index, seven basis points. A value tilt without leaving the blue-chip universe.

WLDR A global index wired to analyst behavior: WLDR tracks FTSE's StarMine screen for earnings quality, rising estimates and price momentum, with sectors held at neutral weight. 0.67% net of a waiver through February 28, 2027.

Stated mandate

VOOV The fund seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 Value Index.

WLDR The Fund seeks to track the FTSE StarMine Affinity World Leaders Index through passive replication. The Index is a global equity strategy covering U.S. and international companies.

Why people hold it

VOOV Charges 0.07% a year against a 0.45% median for its index-tracker peer group. The value tilt arrives without the usual factor-fund markup.
No manager discretion. It follows one published benchmark, the S&P 500 Value Index, holding roughly 400 large-cap names most investors already know.vanguard.com
Running since 2010 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it sits among the strongest implementations in its peer group of plain index wrappers.

WLDR Rules-based screen: earnings quality, upward revisions to estimates, price targets and analyst recommendations, plus momentum and valuation. Sell-side homework, systematized.simplify.us
Sector neutral by design, so the index's bets come from stock selection rather than an overweight in whichever sector is hot.simplify.us
One passport-agnostic sleeve: roughly 150 large caps from the US plus at least three other countries, and up to 20, instead of a US fund bolted to an international fund.simplify.us
Live since 2018, so there is a multi-year record under the same index mandate rather than a backtest.

Worth knowing

VOOV SPYV tracks the same S&P 500 Value Index for 0.04%. Same benchmark, thinner fee.
You own one side of the index. When the growth half of the S&P 500 leads, this fund's path diverges from the headline benchmark.
Volume is moderate rather than heavy, so spreads can run wider than the busiest large-cap ETFs. Cash comes back quarterly, not monthly.

WLDR Costs more than the typical fund in its category, and the 0.67% net rate leans on a waiver through February 28, 2027. The gross fee is 1.05%.
Plain trackers like SCHK (0.03%) and SPYV (0.04%) cost a fraction of this, though they follow the US market, not a global multi-factor screen.
Thinly traded and modest in size, so bid-ask spreads can widen, especially in fast markets.
