Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF (VTWO) is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to track the performance of the Russell 2000 Index, a benchmark that measures the performance of small-cap stocks in the United States.
VTWO is composed of approximately 2,000 small-cap stocks in various sectors, including consumer discretionary, healthcare, financials, and industrials. The ETF is designed to provide investors with exposure to small-cap stocks and to capture the market's long-term growth potential.
Like all ETFs, VTWO offers investors the opportunity to gain exposure to a diversified portfolio of stocks at a lower cost than investing in individual stocks. However, as with any investment, the ETF carries market risks, including the risk of market volatility, interest rate fluctuations, and changes in the economic and regulatory environment.
Investors should carefully consider these risks before investing in VTWO and consult with a financial advisor to determine if it is an appropriate investment for their portfolio. They should also review the ETF's prospectus and other public disclosures to gain a better understanding of its investment strategy, fees, and risks.
