Vanguard Small Cap Value ETF

VBR tracks the CRSP US Small Cap Value Index. The index selects from a list of stocks in the 85-99% range of market cap, based on five value factors.

The Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index Fund ETF is still underperforming the S&P500. The Fed might not be able to engineer a soft-landing due to the sticky inflation, and this does not favor a rotation to small cap value. The earnings growth expectation for small cap value stocks has been downgraded, while the PE multiple has risen.

VBR is a simple U.S. small-cap value index fund. VBR has underperformed YTD, as have most other small-cap value funds. An explanation of why follows.

Dimensional US Small Cap Value ETF

The article reviews and compares the Dimensional US Small Cap Value ETF now and what I saw back in February. Besides updating the data on DFSV, I compare its returns against an index-based SCV ETF and a total SC ETF. DFSV is beating them both. After again reviewing the DFSV ETF, it is still ahead of the VBR ETF and thus continues to warrant a Buy rating.

DFSV: Still Outperforming The Better Known VBR ETF

Small-cap stocks have experienced pressure since the start of the year despite a strong equity market rally. Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index Fund ETF Shares has a diverse stock composition with financials and industrials making up around 40% of the total fund weight. VBR's performance has been negatively affected by the uncertain macroeconomic outlook, rising interest rates, and an unexpected tech rally, suggesting short-term downside risk may be greater than upside potential.

VBR: Facing Headwinds But Potential Likely Ahead

VBR is an ETF that represents a good proxy for the Small-Cap Value Morningstar. Value stocks are currently trading at very attractive valuations, and usually represent "slow compounders" that create returns through EPS growth rather than meteoric increases in P/E ratios. The "Bitcoin effect" has led investors to seek out high-growth, high-risk assets.

VBR: Value Over Growth? The Bitcoin Effect

The Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF has been given a buy rating due to its low cost, high liquidity, low valuation, and recent positive momentum. The ETF features exposure to small and mid-sized US stocks, with a significant allocation to blend and a 10% weight in growth companies; it also has a high yield and strong liquidity. Despite a bearish seasonal trend from mid-July to late October, VBR's compelling valuation, strong metrics, and improved technical momentum suggest more gains are likely.
