Stated objectives of 4 top ranked U.S. Small Cap Value ETFs:
RWJ – The Invesco S&P SmallCap 600 Revenue ETF (the “Fund”) is based on the S&P SmallCap 600® Revenue-Weighted Index (the “Index”). The Fund will invest at least 90% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index. The Index is constructed using a rules-based approach that re-weights securities of the S&P SmallCap 600® Index according to the revenue earned by the companies, with a maximum 5% per company weighting. The Fund and Index are rebalanced quarterly.
VBR – Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF. Seeks to track the performance of the CRSP US Small Cap Value Index, which measures the investment return of small-capitalization value stocks. Provides a convenient way to match the performance of a diversified group of small value companies. Follows a passively managed, full-replication approach.
XSVM – The Invesco S&P SmallCap Value with Momentum ETF (Fund) is based on the S&P 600 High Momentum Value Index (Index). The Fund will invest at least 90% of its total assets in the component securities that comprise the Index. The Index is composed of 120 securities in the S&P SmallCap 600® Index having the highest “value scores” and “momentum scores,” calculated pursuant to the index methodology. Index constituents are weighted by their value scores; securities with higher value scores receive relatively greater weights. The Fund and the Index are rebalanced and reconstituted semi-annually.
VIOV – Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Value ETF. Invests in stocks in the S&P Small-Cap 600 Value Index, composed of the value companies in the S&P 600. Focuses on closely tracking the index’s return, which is considered a gauge of overall U.S. small-cap value stock returns. Offers high potential for investment growth; share value rises and falls more sharply than that of funds holding bonds. More appropriate for long-term goals where your money’s growth is essential.
