Market cap $6.23B

Most investors building a diversified portfolio eventually face the same question: how much exposure to value stocks do I actually need?

The Vanguard S&P 500 Value ETF (VOOV) was launched on September 9, 2010, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.

VOOV is largely the S&P 500 in disguise, it holds high-flying tech with limited value exposure. The ETF's valuation is elevated at 27.8 P/E, and a CAPE ratio around 36. High valuations suggest flat to low-single-digit nominal returns over the next decade.

VOOV offers exposure to the "value" stocks within the S&P 500 index, appealing to investors wary of current market highs and tech bubble concerns. Ironically, VOOV's top three holdings are Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon, which may not fit traditional value metrics but are cash-rich and free-cash-flow-generating machines. The fund has a solid 10-year track record, lower P/E and P/B ratios than the S&P 500, and a higher yield, but has underperformed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 indexes.
