My Small-Cap Value Index Fund Admiral Shares and my Value Index Fund Admiral Shares ended today with the exact same year-to-date return: 6.41%.

Well, I guess that must prove that SmL has been arbitraged away.

Substantially identical returns. I wonder if exchanging would be a wash sale.

I was alluding to an earlier discussion with
gkaplan when he was considering a transfer to D.C. Frankly, given a (reasonable) choice I would also go to London (or NYC).
