Sideways, With A Splash Of Uncertainty

IVE: Solid Value ETF That Is A Bit Pricey

IShares S&P 500 Value ETF could be a solid addition for investors looking to add a value component to their portfolio. Value companies trade below their perceived intrinsic value and may offer room for outperformance.

JVAL: A Smart Approach To Value

JPMorgan U.S. Value Factor ETF has a smarter strategy than most passive value funds. The JVAL ETF is overweight in technology, which is unusual in a value fund portfolio.

VOOV: A Decent Passively Managed Value ETF, But Not The Best

Vanguard S&P 500 Value Index Fund ETF Shares has a lower tracking error than two other funds based on the same index. The fund is heavy in financials, but better diversified across sectors than the S&p 500. VOOV is a direct competitor to iShares and SPYV, which track the same benchmark.
