IUSV - VTV: Built For Passive Investors This Value ETF Is A Top Performer
- VTV is a cost-efficient, well-diversified large-cap value ETF that's tailor-made for passive investors. Its expense ratio is 0.04%, it yields 2.19%, and has low annual turnover.
- VTV has also been the fourth-best performer in its category over the last five years. I'll highlight periodic performances for 30 other large-cap value ETFs in this article.
- I like VTV's current setup, with Pharmaceuticals and Diversified Bank stocks totaling 13%. Bank stocks are great long-term holdings, but some are at risk due to the war in Ukraine.
- VTV should be slightly less volatile than the market since its five-year beta is 0.95. However, solid growth opportunities exist in the Financials sector, and the 17.95 forward P/E is attractive.
- Active investors could probably do better, and I'll include some options that score well on my end. But if watching the markets has exhausted you lately, VTV is a nice choice for investors simply needing a break.
