The Vanguard Small-Cap Index Fund ETF Shares (VB) employs a passive indexing strategy designed to track the CRSP U.S. Small Cap Index, which represents a broadly diversified basket of small-capitalization U.S. companies. The fund uses a full replication approach, holding all or substantially all of the constituent stocks in approximately the same weights as the underlying benchmark.
As a passive equity ETF in the Small Blend category, VB offers investors low-cost exposure to the U.S. small-cap segment through a market-cap-weighted replication methodology, rather than relying on sampling or optimization techniques. The CRSP U.S. Small Cap Index, maintained by the Center for Research in Security Prices, includes U.S. listed companies that fall below the large- and mid-cap thresholds, providing broad sector and industry diversification across the small-cap equity universe.
