This ETF is one of several options available to investors looking to access mid cap U.S. stocks exhibiting value characteristics, such as high dividend yields and low pricing multiples. As such, RFV may be a useful tool for those looking to implement a tactical tilt towards a sector of the U.S. equity market that may perform relatively well in certain economic environments. It is probably too targeted for those looking to build a long-term, buy-and-hold portfolio, though it can potentially be useful for fine-tuning exposure offered by other ETFs. RFV is noteworthy because of the "pure style" distinction offered; this product is very different from funds like IJJ and IWS, which often have considerable overlap with their growth counterparts. RFV focuses on a much smaller universe of mid cap value stocks, including only those with the most significant value characteristics. So for investors seeking to establish a value tilt, RFV will be a much more effective tool than broadly based funds that cast a significantly wider net and are likely to include growth stocks as well.
The adjacent table gives investors an individual Realtime Rating for RFV on several different metrics, including liquidity, expenses, performance, volatility, dividend, concentration of holdings in addition to an overall rating. The "A+ Metric Rated ETF" field, available to ETFdb Pro members, shows the ETF in the Small Cap Value Equities with the highest Metric Realtime Rating for each individual field.
