VIOV: Small Cap Value ETF Lagging Its Peers

Vanguard S&P SmallCap 600 Value Index Fund ETF (VIOV) offers low-cost exposure to small-cap value stocks, with a diversified portfolio but a significant tilt toward financials. The underlying index performance closely tracks the S&P SmallCap 600 benchmark, showing no excess return over 25 years. VIOV has lagged behind top competitors since 2022, especially actively managed AVUV and DFSV, and passive VBR.

VIOV: Criteria Too Narrow In Scope; Better Options Elsewhere

VIOV, a passively managed ETF by Vanguard, aims to track the S&P 600 Small-Cap Value Index but has underperformed compared to other peers. The fund's simplistic criteria and higher portfolio turnover raise doubts about its ability to outperform other small-cap value ETFs like VB and VBR. Given its underperformance and lack of valuable filtering criteria for the portfolio, I recommend VB or VBR for better small-cap value exposure.
