About VB
Vanguard Small-Cap ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides broad exposure to U.S. small-cap stocks. The fund seeks to track the CRSP U.S. Small Cap Index, using a passive indexing approach that holds a diversified portfolio of smaller domestic companies across many industries. Its holdings typically span sectors such as financials, industrials, technology, health care, and consumer-oriented businesses, giving investors access to a wide slice of the U.S. small-cap market. Managed by Vanguard, the ETF is designed as a low-cost, market-cap-weighted vehicle for gaining exposure to an important segment of equities that often plays a distinct role in portfolio construction. As an index fund, it emphasizes diversification, transparency, and broad market representation rather than active stock selection.
