VBK: Why Small-Cap Growth Is Neither Free Nor Filling
US Small-Cap Growth underperforms with low historical and risk-adjusted returns, while being highly correlated to the total US market. Adding US SCG to a diversified portfolio offers no risk reduction and results in worse performance compared to investing solely in the total US market. Vanguard Small-Cap Growth Index Fund ETF is more expensive and less liquid than Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF, making it a poor choice.

VBK trumps its older peer-IWO in a lot of facets. VBK's valuations are extremely pricey, driven in large part by its exposure to the tech sector which still looks like one of the more elevated counters within small caps.
