does vsmax invest in smaller companies than fsevx?

you are comparing apples and oranges: the charts show the capital appreciation excluding dividends. if you include dividends and calculate a total return over that period you see vsmax up 132% vs. fsevx up 129%, i.e. quite close. that residual difference is possibly due to a performance difference between the two benchmarks.
