Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF offers broad exposure but remains heavily weighted to large-cap stocks (technology), limiting true diversification. VTI's performance closely tracks large-cap ETFs like VOO, with both outperforming small-cap benchmarks such as IWM over recent years. Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index Fund ETF provides better diversification, lower tech exposure, and a low expense ratio but is rated Hold due to valuation concerns.
On the same day of the five-year anniversary of Dimensional entering a competitive, rapidly evolving exchange traded fund business, the active ETF provider received an approval notice from the SEC granting the firm exemptive relief to offer dual share class funds. Their timing couldn't be more auspicious.
Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF is upgraded to a "Buy," citing strong long-term fundamentals and recent price reset. VTI benefits from broad diversification, low expenses, and high liquidity, despite a weak start to November and elevated valuations. Seasonal trends and contrarian sentiment suggest a potential year-end rally, especially around Thanksgiving and December.
