Description: VB Small-Cap Shares

The Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund ETF (VB) is a passively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to replicate the performance of the CRSP U.S. Small Cap Index, a broadly diversified benchmark composed of stocks issued by smaller U.S. companies. The fund achieves this by investing in essentially all of the indexs constituent stocks, holding each in approximately the same proportion as its weight within the underlying benchmark.

As a passively managed small-cap blend ETF, VB offers investors broad, low-cost exposure to the U.S. small-capitalization segment of the equity market. The underlying index is maintained by the Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP), an academic financial research organization widely recognized for its equity market benchmarks. Through the ETF structure, investors gain intraday trading flexibility and transparent holdings, characteristics that distinguish this fund from its mutual fund counterpart while pursuing the same indexing strategy.
