VTV tax-loss harvesting alternatives

Vanguard Morningstar Value ETF (Vanguard) tracks Morningstar US Large Cap Value TR USD. If you hold VTV at a loss, these ETFs track a different index, which generally makes them less likely to be considered “substantially identical” — while still moving closely with VTV during the 31-day wait.
