Given all the macroeconomic uncertainty that is going on in the world as of late, large-cap value strategies certainly seem to finally be having their moment in the sun. This should not come as a surprise—many value stocks are known for their strong current profits and cash flows, which can provide portfolios with a defensive cushion.

Exploring BKDV's Take on Value Investing
The BNY Mellon Dynamic Value ETF (BKDV ) may be one approach worth considering. This is due to both the fund’s intrinsic approach and the advantages that its active management brings to the fold.
Recently, the BNY Investments team released an insights post explaining the advantages of active management within the large-cap value space. Notably, the BNY Team argues that historical precedent showcases how active stock selection has been able to deliver when it comes to large-cap value.

“Over the last 10 years, the median large cap value manager has consistently outperformed the benchmark on a rolling three-year basis, while results for the top performing managers have been even stronger,” the BNY Investments team adds. “From 2016 through 2025, large cap value managers in the 10th percentile delivered more than 380 basis points (bps) of average annualized excess return.”
Another means BKDV looks to stand out from the crowd is through its stock selection process. BKDV’s portfolio team picks its portfolio through a bottom-up approach, blending both quantitative and fundamental research. This approach emphasizes three factors in particular: intrinsic value, positive business momentum, and sound business fundamentals.
