Mid and Small Cap ETFs: Which is Cheapest?

Well, another one of these wonderful stories of cost with a Vanguard fund.

Uh, you've basically got a clear winner out of the gates.

BXF um charges four basis points as a completion completion vehicle.

IWM um is the liquidity king.

Um, if you want to do large institutional trades, there's no question it has better spreads, but VXF is still tight, very low spread at three basis points.

Um whereas uh IWM is pretty much uh free to trade in terms of the spread.

But the expense ratio being a 15 basis point difference um from a buy and hold perspective it's pretty clear um winner for VXF.
