VTV: Is Vanguard's $200B Value ETF Right For You?

  • VTV offers low-cost, diversified exposure to U.S. large-cap value stocks, excelling in downside risk management and consistent, middle-of-the-road performance. With a 0.04% expense ratio, high liquidity, and nearly 200 billion in assets, VTV may be ideal for conservative investors seeking moderate income and stability. VTV has avoided poor quartile performance and large drawdowns, but its ten-year returns have lagged peers due to lower growth rates caused by underweighting tech and mega-caps.
