"For the most part, the Vanguard Value Index Fund ETF has long focused on large-cap US value stocks, and these companies have historically reported stable earnings thanks to their established business models and solid shareholder payouts. During periods of inflation and higher rates, these profiles mattered quite a bit to investors who wanted stability, and these same investors were rewarded with solid balance sheets that generated income."
"Over the last few years, the Vanguard Value Index Fund ETF Shares ( NYSE:VTV) has performed exactly as investors hoped. Growing between 12% and 15% annually over the last three years, as rates have risen, this ETF has benefited from having exposure to multiple cash-generating names in its portfolio across finance, energy, and other sectors. As anyone in the market knows, historically strong performance doesn't necessarily guarantee a strong future."
"The approximate 2.03% yield of the ETF highlights that it can generate steady income while investors wait out market volatility. This said, large-cap value is a crowded area, and when everyone starts to pile into the same defensive ETFs and stocks, it compresses future returns, which might have you wanting to move your money into another ETF. What Makes the Vanguard Mid-Cap Value ETF Different"
Vanguard Value Index Fund ETF produced 12–15% annual gains recently by concentrating in large-cap US value names with stable earnings and shareholder payouts. Sector exposure to banking, insurance, and energy enhanced cash flows, supporting dividend growth and buybacks. The ETF yields about 2.03%, offering steady income during market volatility. Heavy investor interest in large-cap value can compress prospective returns. Possible market shifts in 2026, including rate cuts, could reduce the relative advantage of this value exposure. Investors seeking a different balance of income, growth, and long-term upside may explore other Vanguard value ETFs.
