There's a rub to using indexes. Have you noticed that the more 'tightly defined or more thinly sliced the index' the higher the portfolio turnover? - a no no to a Boglehead like me. Transaction costs count. My mini amount of VG small cap value had a 27-28% turnover last time I checked. Yahoo used to have portfolio turnover %'s for mutual funds but I don't think they track them in their 'newer format'.
Portfolio turnover is one of the things I tend to watch and think about.
