- Vanguard Value ETF (VTV) is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track the performance of the CRSP US Large Cap Value Index, measuring the investment return of large-capitalization value stocks in the United States. The fund employs a passively managed, full-replication strategy, investing primarily in value stocks across diversified sectors including financial services, healthcare, industrials, technology, and consumer defensive; top holdings feature companies such as JPMorgan Chase & Co., Berkshire Hathaway Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp., Johnson & Johnson, and Walmart Inc. It offers investors exposure to approximately 326 large-cap value equities, with assets under management exceeding $207 billion, a low expense ratio of 0.04%, and daily pricing on the NYSE Arca exchange.
Launched on January 26, 2004, and domiciled in the United States, the ETF operates within the large value category, targeting institutional and retail investors seeking cost-effective access to U.S. large-cap value stocks. Vanguard Group, Inc., headquartered in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, serves as the fund sponsor and manager, with portfolio management led by Gerard O’Reilly (since 1994), alongside Aaron Choi and Jena Stenger (both since February 18, 2025). The fund maintains a high concentration in U.S. stocks (98.19%), with minor allocations to cash (1.18%) and non-U.S. stocks (0.63%), focusing exclusively on domestic large-cap opportunities.
In recent developments, Vanguard expanded its Investor Choice program, announced on October 21, 2025, to include additional U.S. equity index funds starting in 2026, potentially encompassing VTV equivalents and tripling eligible assets to over $3 trillion for enhanced shareholder proxy voting access. Manager additions for related value-oriented funds, such as Harris Associates and Aristotle Capital Management for Vanguard Windsor II and Variable Insurance Fund – Diversified Value Portfolio effective December 15, 2025, reflect ongoing portfolio optimization efforts amid a slight expense ratio adjustment. These strategic enhancements underscore Vanguard's commitment to low-cost indexing innovation and investor empowerment in the evolving U.S. equity landscape.
