VSS provides investors with a market cap-weighted representation of international small-cap stocks from developed and emerging countries. The fund has country and sector tilts that offer investors a great option for broad, neutral exposure to small firms outside the US. VSS has a securities lending program that more than offsets the fund's cost. The index undergoes review semi-annually starting each March.
