Investment Summary
📎 Investment Objective
The Vanguard Extended Market ETF seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of small- and mid-capitalization stocks.
🎯 Investment Strategy
The ETF employs a passively managed, full-replication approach to track the CRSP US Small Cap Index, which represents approximately 15% of the total U.S. stock market capitalization.
✨ Key Features
- Provides broad exposure to small- and mid-cap U.S. stocks not included in the S&P 500 Index
- Diversified portfolio with holdings across a range of sectors and industries
- Low-cost index fund with an expense ratio of 0.00%
- Suitable for long-term investors seeking to complement a core S&P 500 holding
⚠️ Primary Risks
- Increased volatility compared to large-cap stocks due to the smaller size of the underlying companies
- Potential for higher risk and lower liquidity in the small- and mid-cap segments of the market
- Exposure to market-wide risks, such as economic conditions and investor sentiment
- Tracking error risk, as the fund may not perfectly replicate the performance of the underlying index
👤 Best For
The Vanguard Extended Market ETF may be suitable for long-term investors seeking broad exposure to the U.S. equity market, including small- and mid-cap companies, as part of a diversified portfolio. It may be particularly appealing to investors looking to complement a core large-cap allocation or to gain exposure to the growth potential of smaller companies.
