VFMV: Solid But Sub-Optimal Low Volatility ETF
VFMV provides exposure to a well-diversified basket low-volatile stocks. Its expense ratio is 0.13% and VFMV has $155 million in assets under management. Historically, VFMV has provided some downside protection compared to its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index. However, other ETFs have done just as well and have recovered quicker after large drawdowns. While VFMV satisfies a "flight to stability" goal, it's not as strong as its peers on quality, which I offer as an explanation for its disappointing total returns.
