Vanguard started offering this about 6 years ago as an ETF version of its Mid Cap mutual fund (VIMSX - which I am invested in through a 401k). Vanguard has a great reputation for offering attractive funds and ETF's with some of the lowest management costs and fees. This is a great ETF/fund to include in a 401k portfolio that will add a comfortable dose of risk with potential for good growth in the long term.

Mid-caps are a better forming asset class.

Midcaps. These companys have already established market share.

They have survived the IPO.

Large enough to have a moat to ward off competition yet small enough to allow significant growth.

Make room in your portfolio for midcaps. You wont be sorry.

In the long run mid caps outperform all other market cap levels.

The Vanguard ETF that focusses on the general mid-cap market is a solid performer. It is especially attractive since its holdings are fairly even-handed - there are 428 companies held, and the top-ten-performing companies amount to 7% of the portfolio value. That even-handedness will prevent any sudden, drastic shift in NAV just because a few holdings run into a poor spell. Its stability should be its most important aspect for the next two years or so.

Midcap beats large cap in most economic environments. Midcap is the sweet spot of american innovation. Large enough to be credible business, small enough to be flexible and innovate.

Mid cap index grows 15-20% a year.

Like IJH, VO is practically a mirror image of the S&P 500, with a slightly better up-tick.
