<p>If you ask investors to name one or more Vanguard ETFs, they&rsquo;ll tend to rhyme off some of the asset manager&rsquo;s largest funds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Of the <a href="https://etfdb.com/compare/market-cap/">100 largest ETFs</a> by assets, Vanguard has five in the top 10, 12 in the top 25, and 32 in the top 100. That makes sense, given it is the second-largest ETF provider by assets under management, with <a href="https://www.etf.com/sections/etf-league-tables/jpmorgans-aum-jumps-12-bln-ytd-etf-league-tables-april-9">$2.55 trillion</a> as of April 9.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, Vanguard has <a href="https://etfdb.com/etfs/issuers/">86 ETFs</a>. Not all of them are in the top 100. It has 18 ETFs with net assets of less than $1 billion. That&rsquo;s about 21% of its ETFs.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The largest ETF provider by net assets is iShares, with $2.75 billion spread across <a href="https://www.etf.com/topics/ishares">411 ETFs</a>. Of those, 58% have net assets of less than $1 billion. It would be much easier to do this exercise with iShares ETFs.&nbsp;</p>



<p>That&rsquo;s not to be.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here are three smaller Vanguard ETFs to consider for your portfolio.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Vanguard Total Corporate Bond ETF (VTC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/vanguard1600-1-300x169.jpg" alt="vanguard website displayed on a mobile phone screen representing vanguard etfs"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p>The <strong>Vanguard Total Corporate Bond ETF </strong>(NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vtc-stock-quote/"><strong>VTC</strong></a></span>) has net assets of <a href="https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/etfs/profile/vtc#price">$981 million</a> and charges 0.04% or $4 per $10,000 invested.</p>



<p>The ETF tracks the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index, which provides investors with exposure to investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds. Although the overall portfolio has an intermediate-duration focus, it does provide exposure to short (40%), intermediate (28%), and long-term maturities (32%).&nbsp;</p>



<p>The ETF owns 7503 corporate bonds, 454 less than the index. It holds them through three Vanguard ETFs: <strong>Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF </strong>(NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vcsh-stock-quote/"><strong>VCSH</strong></a></span>), <strong>Vanguard Intermediate-Term Corporate Bond ETF </strong>(NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vcit-stock-quote/"><strong>VCIT</strong></a></span>), and the <strong>Vanguard Long-Term Corporate Bond ETF </strong>(NASDAQ:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vclt-stock-quote/"><strong>VCLT</strong></a></span>). <strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>The bonds&rsquo; average coupon is 4.2%, with a 5.3% yield to maturity and an average duration of 7.0 years. The portfolio is rotated once every 10 years or so.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The top three countries by weight are the U.S. (84.9%), the UK (4.3%), and Canada (3.2%)&mdash;bonds with credit ratings of BBB or A account for 92% of the portfolio.&nbsp;</p>



<p>You won&rsquo;t get rich from VTC, but the 30-day SEC yield is a healthy 4.04%.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Vanguard S&amp;P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF (IVOG)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/midcap-stocks-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Mid-Cap Stocks Class Category Market Ticker Prices 3d Illustration"><div>Source: iQoncept / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>I&rsquo;m a sucker for mid-cap stocks, so the <strong>Vanguard S&amp;P Mid-Cap 400 Growth ETF </strong>(NYSEARCA:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ivog-stock-quote/"><strong>IVOG</strong></a></span>) just had to make my trio of smaller Vanguard ETFs. It helps that <em>Morningstar.com </em>gives it a <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/arcx/ivog/quote">four-star rating</a>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you&rsquo;re unfamiliar with the <strong>S&amp;P MidCap 400 Index</strong>, it&rsquo;s a collection of 400 mid-cap stocks representing approximately <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/additional-material/sp-midcap-400-brochure.pdf">5%</a> of the U.S. equity market. IVOG tracks the performance of the <strong>S&amp;P MidCap 400 Growth Index</strong>, which provides exposure to <a href="https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/etfs/profile/ivog#portfolio-composition">245 growth stocks</a> from the 400 in the parent index.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The average stock in IVOG has a median market cap of $9.7 billion, a five-year earnings growth rate of 18.8%, and a P/E ratio of 21.6x. It turns the portfolio every two years.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The top three sectors by weight are industrials (28.20%), consumer discretionary (17.80%), and technology (11.70%). The fund&rsquo;s top 10 holdings account for <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/arcx/ivog/portfolio">12%</a> of its <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/arcx/ivog/quote">$961.3 million</a> in net assets.</p>



<p>Of the top 10 holdings, I like <strong>Vistra </strong>(NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vst-stock-quote/"><strong>VST</strong></a></span>), <strong>Williams-Sonoma</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/wsm-stock-quote/"><strong>WSM</strong></a>), and <strong>Lennox International </strong>(NYSE:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/lii-stock-quote/"><strong>LII</strong></a></span>).&nbsp;</p>



<p>It charges a reasonable 0.15%.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Vanguard US Quality Factor ETF (VFQY)&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/vanguard-1-300x169.jpg" alt="vanguard ETFs: The Vanguard website is displayed on a laptop screen. vanguard etfs. blue chip stocks"><div>Source: Casimiro PT / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Vanguard US Quality Factor ETF </strong>(BATS:<span><a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vfqy-stock-quote/"><strong>VFQY</strong></a></span>) doesn&rsquo;t track the performance of a particular index.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Instead, portfolio managers use a <a href="https://personal1.vanguard.com/pub/Pdf/sp4417.pdf?2210149095">quantitative model</a> to evaluate stocks of all market caps and construct a portfolio of companies with solid fundamentals. These fundamentals include strong profitability, sustainable earnings, and healthy balance sheets.&nbsp;</p>




<p>VFQY&rsquo;s website <a href="https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/etfs/profile/vfqy#portfolio-composition">states</a> the portfolio &ldquo;includes a diverse mix of stocks representing many different market capitalizations (large, mid, and small), market sectors, and industry groups.&rdquo;</p>




<p>The 362 stocks in its portfolio have a median market cap of $27.3 billion, a five-year earnings growth rate of 15.4%, and a P/E ratio of 19.6x. Large-cap stocks account for <a href="https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/bats/vfqy/portfolio">43%</a> of the ETF, mid-caps (25%), and small caps (32%).&nbsp;</p>



<p>The top three sectors by weight are industrials (22.20%), consumer discretionary (20.30%), and technology (19.80%). Its top 10 holdings account for 15% of the fund&rsquo;s net assets. Of the top 10 holdings, the only stock I don&rsquo;t like is <strong>3M </strong>(NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/mmm-stock-quote/"><strong>MMM</strong></a>). It just has too many issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>The ETF has $334.2 million in net assets and charges 0.13%.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
