Prediction: This Vanguard ETF Will Outperform the S&P 500 Over the Next 12 Months
The Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF (VBR) was launched on 01/26/2004, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Small Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
Strong macro tailwinds and value play make VBR (a small-cap ETF) an attractive investment in the current overvalued market. VBR's portfolio includes quality companies, evidenced by a strong dividend growth track record, indicating good financial conditions, positioned well for a potential rally. I recommend starting a VBR position to capitalize on the small-cap rotation, expecting strong performance during the early stages of the rally and solid performance in the longer run.

But most importantly, it has underperformed both the broad market and its vanilla and growth counterparts.
