Should Vanguard Small-Cap Growth ETF (VBK) Be on Your Investing Radar?
The Vanguard Small-Cap Growth ETF (VBK) was launched on January 26, 2004, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Small Cap Growth segment of the US equity market.
VBK: Tech Tilt Without Turbo
VBK has struggled to deliver consistent growth outperformance, especially in the current high-rate environment, trailing alternatives like IWO post-pandemic. Sector allocation differences—VBK's tech tilt versus IWO's healthcare and fintech—have contributed to recent underperformance and muted returns. Small-cap growth, and VBK specifically, face headwinds from lackluster investor interest and a risk-reward profile inferior to large caps.
VBK Can Offer Appealing Small-Cap Exposure For The Next Rate Cut
VBK offers diversified, low-cost exposure to small-cap growth stocks, making it attractive ahead of potential Fed rate cuts in late 2025. Small caps historically outperform during rate-cut cycles, and improving trade and manufacturing conditions further support the investment case for VBK. Despite recent underperformance versus the S&P 500, VBK's sector mix and policy tailwinds position it for stronger relative returns going forward.
