VTV

The Vanguard Value ETF (VTV) invests in a broad range of U.S. large‑cap equities that exhibit value characteristics, with sector exposure concentrated in financials, industrials, health care, consumer staples and energy. It follows a passive, full‑replication approach to the CRSP US Large‑Cap Value Index, selecting stocks based on factors such as low price‑to‑book, high dividend yield and favorable earnings‑to‑price ratios. By providing diversified exposure to established, dividend‑paying companies, the fund is suited for investors who want a core holding of U.S. value stocks for long‑term growth and income, and who prefer a relatively conservative equity allocation within a diversified portfolio.
