- Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index Fund ETF (VBR) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the CRSP US Small Cap Value Index, providing investors with exposure to small-capitalization value stocks in the U.S. equity market. The fund employs a passively managed, full-replication strategy by investing all of its assets in the stocks comprising the benchmark index, which represents the value segment of small-cap companies characterized by low price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios. It offers broad diversification across approximately 842 holdings, with key sector allocations including industrials (22.1%), financials (20.4%), and consumer discretionary (14.7%); top holdings as of September 30, 2025, feature NRG Energy Inc. (0.8%), EMCOR Group Inc. (0.7%), and Atmos Energy Corp. (0.7%). The ETF maintains a low expense ratio of 0.07%, quarterly dividend schedule, and significant scale with ETF net assets of $31,369 million and total fund net assets of $59,146 million as of September 30, 2025. Inception date is January 26, 2004; shares trade on NYSE Arca under ticker VBR (CUSIP 922908611). Vanguard Group, Inc., headquartered in Malvern, Pennsylvania and founded in 1975, serves as the investment manager, with the fund targeting long-term investors seeking small-cap value equity exposure through a low-turnover (15.8%), U.S.-focused portfolio featuring no foreign holdings. Recent updates include a methodology change effective July 15, 2024, whereby market price returns now use the official closing price from the ETF's primary exchange rather than the midpoint between bid and ask prices. The fund continues to demonstrate competitive performance, outperforming the average small-cap value fund by 1.6 percentage points annually since 2013, supported by its mid-cap tilt and emphasis on undervalued companies in resilient sectors like financials and industrials. No major acquisitions, partnerships, or structural reorganizations specific to VBR have been reported in the last 1-2 years.
