VB vs. ISCB: Which Small-Cap ETF Is the Better Buy for Investors?
Overview
The iShares Morningstar Small-Cap ETF (NYSEMKT:ISCB) and the Vanguard Small-Cap ETF (NYSEMKT:VB) both aim to capture the growth potential of smaller U.S. companies. And while both funds launched in 2004, the Vanguard fund has become a cornerstone of many portfolios, with a massive $182.7 billion in assets under management. ISCB remains a smaller, more concentrated alternative that may appeal to those seeking slightly different sector weightings.
Beta measures price volatility relative to the S&P 500; beta is calculated from five-year monthly returns. The 1-year return represents total return over the trailing 12 months. Dividend yield is the trailing-12-month distribution yield.
