It's less than a month into 2022, and already the U.S. stock market is performing differently than in 2021 or 2020. As of market close on Jan. 19, the Vanguard Value exchange-traded fund (ETF) (NYSEMKT: VTV) was down less than 1% for the year, while the S&P 500 was down nearly 5% and the Vanguard Growth ETF (NYSEMKT: VUG) was down over 9%.
For now, at least, value stocks seem to be replacing growth stocks as the new market outperforming group. To illustrate how rare that is, consider that value outperformed growth just two out of the last 13 years.
Let's determine if now is a good time to rotate out of growth toward value stocks .
