2025-04-16 08:39:58 ET

Summary

• MGV has outperformed the S&P 500 in 2025, with a solid valuation and high-quality portfolio, making it a buy despite recent market volatility.
• The ETF offers diversified exposure to US large-cap value stocks with a low expense ratio and a higher dividend yield than the S&P 500.
• MGV's technical indicators show mixed signals, with strong support around $107-$110 but resistance at $125 and potential bearish trends.
• Despite some headwinds, the valuation and defensive performance during market dips justify a buy rating for MGV.

There haven't been many places to hide in recent weeks. Year to date, however, US mega-cap value has done fine. It's off by less than 2% in total return since the start of 2025, outperforming the S&P 500 by more than six percentage points. This alpha stretch comes after a strong absolute return in 2024 but somewhat light relative performance then, thanks to the Magnificent Seven's surge last year....
