- Vanguard S&P 500 Value ETF (VOOV) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 Value Index, which measures the investment return of large-capitalization value stocks in the United States. The fund employs a passively managed, full-replication strategy to invest in value companies from the S&P 500 Index as identified by three key factors: book value to price ratio; earnings to price ratio; and sales to price ratio. It provides exposure to approximately 398 stocks with a median market capitalization of $147.4 billion, a price/earnings ratio of 21.9x, and sector allocations including information technology (22.3%); health care (15.9%); financials (15.6%); industrials (8.4%); and consumer discretionary and staples (both 8.3%).
Launched on September 7, 2010, and domiciled in the United States, VOOV trades on the NYSE Arca exchange with the ticker symbol VOOV and CUSIP 921932703. The fund, issued by The Vanguard Group, Inc. and headquartered in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, maintains low expenses with an expense ratio of 0.07%, quarterly dividend distributions, and total net assets of approximately $5.55 billion as of March 31, 2025. Its top holdings as a percentage of net assets include Apple Inc. (7.5%); Microsoft Corp. (5.6%); Amazon.com Inc. (3.2%); Exxon Mobil Corp. (2.2%); and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (2.1%), representing 28.4% of the portfolio in aggregate.
VOOV targets long-term investors seeking large-cap value equity exposure within the U.S. stock market, with minimal foreign holdings (0.1%) and a turnover rate of 30.5%. In recent performance as of March 31, 2025, the fund delivered a quarter-to-date NAV return of 0.25%; one-year return of 4.11%; five-year annualized return of 9.98%; and since-inception annualized return of 11.82%, closely mirroring its benchmark. Amid a growth-dominated market in 2024 where it still achieved over 12% return, analysts project potential outperformance versus growth in 2025 supported by solid macro backdrops, lower valuations, and historical value resilience during economic cycles.
No major partnerships, strategic alliances, funding rounds, acquisitions, new product launches, or significant operational changes specific to VOOV have been reported in the last 1-2 years; the fund continues its standard passive indexing approach with ongoing refinements in tracking error reduction techniques. Vanguard as issuer has pursued broader expansions, including launches of new fixed income ETFs in 2025 such as Vanguard U.S. Treasury 1-3 Year Bond UCITS ETF; Vanguard Government Securities Active ETF; and Vanguard Total Treasury ETF, enhancing its overall product suite but not directly impacting VOOV operations. Institutional interest remains active, evidenced by recent transactions in Q2-Q4 2025 including new positions and share increases by firms such as Independent Advisor Alliance and Gen Trust, LLC.
