Verified factor-similar cluster

ETFs Similar to VLU

Each fund below shares verified factor exposure with VLU and has no more than 3% annualized modeled factor tracking error over either the common 36-month window or the longer factor-history check. Tracking error measures volatility, not the direction of returns. The score runs from 80 at that limit to 100 for identical fitted exposures. See the matching method.
