Summary

Vanguard Russell 2000 Index’s competitive fee, broad reach, and market-cap-weighted portfolio are compelling features, but flaws in the construction of the Russell 2000 Index raise trading costs and place greater emphasis on volatile low-quality companies. Both share classes retain a Morningstar Medalist Rating of Bronze.
