VO in Focus

The underlying CRSP US Mid Cap Index targets the inclusion of U.S. companies that fall between the top 70-85% of investable market capitalization. The fund has a double-digit allocation to industrials (20.64%), technology (13.70%), financials (12.97%) and consumer discretionary (12.09%). The product charges 4 bps in annual fees (see: all Mid Cap Blend ETFs).

Why the Move?

The mid-cap space of the U.S. market has been an area to watch lately, given market expectations of a certain interest rate cut in September and the broader rally in the economy. Additionally, recent improved economic data and strong corporate earnings have resulted in fading recessionary fears, which make mid-cap funds more appealing.

More Gains Ahead?

Currently, VO has a Zacks ETF Rank #2 (Buy) and a Medium risk outlook. However, it might continue its strong performance in the near term, with a positive weighted alpha of 18.92 (per Barchart.com), which gives cues of a further rally.
