Sector Rotation Pushes Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF Higher as Cyclicals Lead

15.02.2026 - 17:11:03

The Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF, commonly cited by its ticker VBR, benefited from a notable sector rotation on the U.S. equity market last week. The fund closed Friday at $231.31, up 1.02%.

– A cost edge, as the fund’s expense ratio sits at just 0.05%, placing it among the most affordable options in its peer group.
