Description: VB Small-Cap Shares January 28, 2026
The Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund ETF (VB) follows a pure-indexing strategy that seeks to mirror the CRSP US Small-Cap Index. It does this by holding virtually every constituent of the index in roughly the same weight, thereby delivering broad exposure to U.S. small-cap equities while minimizing tracking error.
As of the most recent filing (Q4 2025): the fund’s expense ratio is 0.05%, total net assets are about $32 billion, and its 12-month total return stands at roughly 7.4% (annualized). The top sector allocations are Technology (≈22%), Financials (≈18%) and Consumer Discretionary (≈15%). Small-cap performance is currently being driven by a combination of resilient consumer spending, a modestly easing monetary policy environment, and a gradual shift in capital toward high-growth niches such as fintech and renewable-energy services.
