VIOO: SmallCap 600 ETF Primed For Gains After Fed Rate Cut Resumption

Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Index Fund ETF is rated a "Buy," benefiting from the Fed's anticipated rate cuts and attractive valuations. VIOO offers low expenses, a profitability screen, and a compelling PEG ratio, making it less exposed to unprofitable companies than IWM. Sector exposure is concentrated in Financials and Industrials, so VIOO's performance is closely tied to U.S. economic expectations and Fed policy.

Only 6 Broad ETFs Are Down This Year — Here's Their Cardinal Sin

It's been tough to lose money on ETFs this year — nearly every actively traded U.S. diversified ETF is up in 2025 so far. But there's a tiny number of unlucky ETFs sinking amid a rising tide.

Only 6 Broad ETFs Are Down This Year — Here's Their Cardinal Sin

Powell Pivot Sparks REIT Rebound

U.S. equity markets notched another series of record highs this week, surging into the weekend after surprisingly dovish commentary from Federal Reserve Chair Powell, who hinted at imminent rate cuts. Powell used his final Jackson Hole speech as Fed Chair to deliver a clear policy pivot, an unexpected reversal after months of insistence that tariff-related inflation warranted a hawkish framework. Markets were equally relieved by the policy-focused nature of Powell's speech amid speculation that the address may be used instead as a potential defiant sermon on central bank independence.

Behind The (Revised) Curve

U.S. equity markets fell sharply this week, while benchmark interest rates retreated to three-month lows, after revised employment data showed that job growth was far weaker than initially reported. The BLS payrolls report showed softer-than-expected hiring in July and the steepest two-month downward revisions to jobs growth since 2020, raising concern that the Fed may be "behind the curve." The downward revisions came days after Fed Chair Powell used it as the primary evidence for "solid" labor markets, which justified the FOMC's decision to keep rates in "restrictive" territory.

VIOO: Better To Stick With VBR For Small-Caps

VIOO is a passively managed ETF tracking the S&P SmallCap 600, but has underperformed peers like VBR and VIOG over multiple time frames. The fund's low expense ratio and diversified portfolio are positives, but its simple benchmark criteria lead to mediocre returns and higher volatility. Risk-adjusted returns are weak, with a low Sharpe ratio and heightened sensitivity to interest rates and tariffs, making the risk/reward unattractive.

VIOO ETF: Decent, But Better Small-Cap Options Elsewhere

VIOO is a passively managed ETF tracking the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, offering small-cap exposure with quarterly rebalancing and low fees.
