Who decides? And why can a company that many investors think of as a growth stock sometimes find its way into a Value ETF? In this episode of Trail Boss Radio, we decode the Vanguard S&P 500 Value ETF (VOOV) and explore the rules that power one of the most popular value investing strategies available today. Instead of chasing market headlines, we look behind the curtain to understand how index providers classify companies, how ETFs evolve over time, and why those changes matter to long-term investors. Using real-world examples—including companies that have shifted between growth and value classifications—we explain how the S&P 500 Value Index is built and why understanding the index is often more important than memorizing the ticker. This episode is another step in our Trail Boss Investing journey, where we're learning the stock market in public and documenting everything along the way. We believe that understanding the businesses and rules behind an investment builds confidence that no market prediction ever can. In this episode, you'll discover: What the Vanguard S&P 500 Value ETF (VOOV) is designed to do. How companies are classified as \"value\" investments. Why those classifications can change over time. How index providers help shape ETF portfolios. Why value investing is about more than buying \"cheap\" stocks. How VOOV complements VOO and VOOG in the Trail Boss Baseball Portfolio System. Why understanding the engine behind an ETF makes you a better long-term investor. As part of our ongoing research, we're also building living reference pages that track the composition of our Major League ETFs and connect them to our PeeWee League Forever Stock Test series.
