Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF Outshines State Street on Fees But is It the Better Buy?
The State Street SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Value ETF has far better YTD returns.
Overview
Small-cap value exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are a must for a diversified portfolio, particularly now. With large-cap stocks overvalued, many investors are looking for better values and are rotating into formerly beaten-down small-cap stocks, which are now resurgent.
Year to date, the Russell 2000 Value index is up 21%, and over the past year it has climbed 35%. It may surprise some that small-cap value stocks are the best performers both year to date and over the past 12 months, beating the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, S&P 400, Russell 1000, Russell 2000, and Russell 2000 Growth indexes.
Details
Two of the best small-cap value ETFs are the Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF (NYSEMKT: VBR) and the State Street SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Value ETF (NYSEMKT: SLYV). But which is the better buy?
