The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the Russell 1000 Value Index (the Underlying Index), which measures the performance of large- and mid-capitalization value sectors of the U.S. equity market, as defined by FTSE Russell (the Index Provider or Russell). The Underlying Index is a subset of the Russell 1000 Index, which measures the performance of the large- and mid-capitalization sector of the U.S. equity market, as defined by Russell. As of March 31, 2024, the Underlying Index represented approximately 45 percent of the total market value of the Russell 1000 Index. The Underlying Index measures the performance of equity securities of Russell 1000 Index issuers with lower price-to-book ratios, lower sales-per-share historical growth and lower forecasted growth relative to all issuers whose securities are included in the Russell 1000 Index. As of March 31, 2024, a significant portion of the Underlying Index is represented by securities of companies in the financial and industrials industries or sectors. The components of the Underlying Index are likely to change over time.

최근 주식 시장에 관심을 기울여왔다면, 가치주가 화려한 성장주의 중심에서 떠오르고 있는 다소 의외의 상황을 목격한 적이 있을 것이다. 3개월 동안 러셀 1000 가치 지수는 러셀 1000 성장 지수를 11%나 앞질렀다. 작년 이맘때만 해도 기술과 인공지능(AI)이 시장을 주도했던 것과는 확연히 다른 모습이다.

인플레이션과 경기침체 우려 속 가치주 상승, 이러한 추세 활용할 ETF 4종목은?

도널드 트럼프의 미국 대선 승리는 주식 랠리를 촉발시켰다. 핀테크 기업 어프리시에이트(Appreciate)의 최고 비즈니스 책임자인 요게시 칸살(Yogesh Kansal)은 &#34;감세와 규제완화가 기업 수익 증가로 이어질 것&#34;이라는 트럼프 행정부의 계획에 따라 이러한 상승세는 지속될 것으로 전망했다. 그는 석유와 천연가스처럼 규제가 심한 분야가 트럼프 행정부 하에서 혜택을 받을 것이라고 덧붙였다.

If you&#8217;ve been paying attention to the stock market recently, you must have come across a rather unexpected turn of events—value stocks are taking center stage from their flashy growth rivals. Over the course of three months, the Russell 1000 Value Index has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44555763/value-stocks-are-crushing-growth-superstars-in-2025-is-more-to-come">beaten the Russell 1000 Growth Index </a>by a healthy 11%. That&#8217;s a far cry from this time last year, when tech and AI plays were driving the market upwards.

With tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and recession jitters swirling, investors are flocking to the relative safety of value stocks. But is it a permanent pivot, or a temporary sidetrack? Although no one knows for sure what the market will do, history suggests that value stocks have a way of surviving rough patches.
For those looking to ride the wave, these <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">four value-based ETFs</a> are worth considering:
iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWD#NYSE">IWD</a>)
The first choice for most investors seeking to follow the Russell 1000 Value Index, IWD offers broad exposure to large-cap value stocks from a wide range of sectors, such as financials, healthcare, and consumer staples. Some of its holdings include stocks of JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Procter &amp; Gamble Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>). With its size and liquidity, this ETF is a convenient means of achieving diversified exposure to the value sector. It carries an expense ratio of 0.19%.
Vanguard Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTV#NYSE">VTV</a>)
An affordable fund with a bottom-of-the-barrel expense ratio of 0.04%, VTV tracks the CRSP US Large Cap Value Index. Blue-chip stalwarts such as JPMorgan Chase, and Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) are overweights in this fund, which is a good bet for stability and long-term growth.
SPDR S&amp;P 500 Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPYV#NYSE">SPYV</a>)
If you desire exposure to value stocks as part of the larger S&amp;P 500, SPYV may be considered. This ETF targets S&amp;P 500 stocks that reflect strong value features in terms of low price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios. With the valuation differential between value and growth stocks as high as it is now, this ETF is poised to profit from a possible market correction. The portfolio is similar to that of IWD and VTV, and the expense ratio is 0.04%.
Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>)
Dividend stocks tend to overlap with value stocks, and SCHD is a good representative of this case. Concentrating on high-grade dividend-paying businesses, this ETF not only gets investors exposed to value stocks but also provides a steady income under market uncertainty. Its portfolio carries blue-chip brands such as Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), PepsiCo (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), and Pfizer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>). This ETF comes with an expense ratio of 0.06%.

Why Value Could Stay On Top
Last quarter&#8217;s value outperformance is more than just jitters in the market. It&#8217;s because, as BlackRock&#8217;s Global CIO of Fundamental Equities Tony DeSpirito <a href="https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual/insights/value-stocks-underweight-and-unaware?utm_source=chatgpt.com">says</a>, growth stocks now comprise almost 40% of the S&amp;P 500—more than double their long-term average of 24%. With the valuations pulled forward, investors might begin shifting into value stocks for diversification. In addition, sectors like utilities, health care, and materials—staples in value indexes—are less tariff-vulnerable and potentially even positively affected by changes in trade policy.
While growth stocks may recover over time, the current market environment has favored value stocks. For those interested in exploring this trend, these four ETFs offer examples of funds that focus on value investing.

Value Stocks Gain Ground As Inflation, Recession Fears Grow: 4 ETFs To Capitalize On The Trend

Value stocks have flipped the market script on their growth counterparts so far this year, with the Russell 1000 Value Index outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index by 11% in just three short months.
The iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWD#NYSE">IWD</a>), which tracks the Russell 1000 Value, and the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWF#NYSE">IWF</a>) for the Russell 1000 Growth, similarly have a little under 10% gap this year so far, in favor of the value fund.
The last time this happened was during the bear market of 2022, when rising rates, persistent inflation, and unjustifiably high valuations sent investors scurrying for safer options to park their funds. In 2024, however, growth stocks regained their momentum, aided by rate cuts and strong momentum across tech and AI stocks.
Now, as chaos reigns on Wall Street, with tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44554304/goldman-sachs-raises-us-recession-risk-to-35-expects-inflation-at-3-5-in-2025-amid-tariff-uncertainties-economist-mohamed-el-erian-highlights-stagflationary-twist">fresh recessionary fears</a> cropping up, investors are once again finding safety in value. But, is this here to stay, or just a fleeting trend that is waiting to turn around?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Value Stocks Are More Resilient?</h2>
Value stocks, by their very definition, are those that are currently undervalued, relative to their assets, earnings, and future prospects. So, during periods of volatility and uncertainty, they have limited downside risks, especially when compared to growth stocks.
Besides this, value stocks, funds, and ETFs are generally more concentrated in sectors such as healthcare and utilities, which aren&#8217;t impacted by the tariffs. Similarly, base materials, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/03/44432858/us-steel-faces-q1-pressures-but-eyes-long-term-gains-from-br2-nippon-partnership">steel</a>, aluminum, and other industrials that form the other big chunk of value stocks in the U.S. stand to benefit from President Trump&#8217;s trade wars.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Reasons For Value To Rebound In 2025</h2>
According to Tony DeSpirito, the Chief Investment Officer at BlackRock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>), another reason why values are set to outperform this year is simply the remarkable run-up that growth stocks have experienced in recent years. Growth stocks now represent nearly 40% of the S&amp;P 500, significantly higher than the historical average of 24%.
This means that a correction is warranted, as investors will look for diversification and more exposure to value picks, even without the existing market turmoil and uncertainties. 
DeSpirito further cites the valuation gap between the Russell growth and value indexes, which is now at its widest since December 2000, which kickstarted a three-year bear market through 2002, during which value stocks outperformed growth.

Zoom Communications, Lockheed Martin And More: CNBC's 'Final Trades'

Analyst Ratings

NBC Halftime Report Final Trades: Zoom Communications, Lockheed Martin, iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF

President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s victory has fueled a rally in equities. This is likely to sustain as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42158682/donald-trumps-win-positive-for-financials-energy-sector-as-pro-growth-effects-will-outweigh-inflationary-pressures-says-analyst">administration plans</a> on &#8220;tax cuts and deregulation will lead to higher corporate earnings,&#8221; said Yogesh Kansal, chief business officer at fintech company, Appreciate. He added that highly regulated sectors like oil and gas will benefit under Trump&#8217;s administration.
What Happened: While tax cuts and deregulation are positive for the stock markets, the Trump administration&#8217;s take on immigration and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42178994/trump-says-he-will-impose-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-on-first-day-of-office-and-extra-tariffs-on-china-until-they-pay-attention">higher tariffs</a> have an opposing effect on the markets.
As per Kansal, with the deportation of immigrants, &#8220;the cost of labor will go up for all companies, which basically means the profitability of companies will go down.&#8221; Additionally, he said that with tariffs, the &#8220;stock prices could be lower&#8221; because of a shift in &#8220;global demand&#8221;.
Morgan Stanley, in its note dated Dec. 3, also cautions that concerns over trade tariffs, immigration policies, fiscal sustainability, and how the scope and timing of new policies may constrain the broader economic outlook. The global financial services firm anticipates growth and innovation, particularly in the technology and natural gas sectors.

Why It Matters: According to Kansal, highly regulated industries like &#8220;energy, oil and gas, health care, and banking will be seeing tailwinds&#8221; because of the deregulation attempts.
Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight ETF (ACRA: RSP) has risen by 17.3% on a year-to-date basis. While, the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWD#NYSE">IWD</a>) and Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VYM#NYSE">VYM</a>) advanced by 18.56% and 18.96%, respectively, in the same period, underperforming the S&amp;P 500 on a year-to-date basis, which has grown by 28.41% in the same period.
On the other hand, ProShares S&amp;P 500 Ex-Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPXE#NYSE">SPXE</a>) grew by 28.85% year-to-date, outperforming the index.
Other analysts have also said that Trump&#8217;s victory will lead to a boom in the energy sector. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42158682/donald-trumps-win-positive-for-financials-energy-sector-as-pro-growth-effects-will-outweigh-inflationary-pressures-says-analyst">According to</a> Mario Georgiou, CFA and executive director, head of investments at InCred Global Wealth U.K., "deregulation supporting oil production and geopolitical risks could sustain elevated oil prices and relative valuations are attractive."
Even though the energy sector has underperformed the broader markets in 2024, "fundamentally, companies are shareholder friendly with 8-12% shareholder yields, have strong balance sheets with low net debt to EBITDA ratios and high free cash flow yields of 6.50% and above," he adds.
As per Morgan Stanley, the energy sector faces a divided future. Trump&#8217;s deregulation could benefit traditional energy, but the outlook for oil is uncertain due to potential oversupply and weak global demand, especially from China. In contrast, natural gas may see growth from strong European demand and increased domestic use for electrification and AI-powered data centers. The clean energy sector could face challenges, if Trump rollbacks Biden&#8217;s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act tax credits. However, a full repeal seems unlikely due to the benefits for Republican states.
Kansal, on the other hand, was also positive about the technology sector given the rise in the A-I frenzy. &#8220;The biggest factor that is driving the U.S. stock market right now is AI. There&#8217;s a lot of activity, lots of investment that has gone in because of the expectation of AI increasing productivity,&#8221; he said.
However, Georgiou said, &#8220;Rising bond yields increase the discount rate applied to future earnings, disproportionately affecting high-growth sectors like technology. We therefore prefer higher quality tech companies, avoiding highly leveraged, unprofitable tech stocks. This does not make us underweight Technology, as there are sufficient high-quality companies in this sector to make up the allocation with.&#8221;
Major AI payers in the U.S. stock markets include Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with a 195.7% year-to-date gain and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) with stock gains of 19.6% in the same period.
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) rose by 51.42% and 26.46% year-to-date, respectively. &#8220;So I think in the next 12 months, software as well as hardware, technology industries will do well including FAANG stocks and Nvidia,&#8221; Kansal added.

Trump's Deregulation Efforts To Benefit Energy, Oil And Gas Sectors, While AI Frenzy Will Boost FAANG Stocks And Nvidia, Says Fintech Insider

The Republican party&#8217;s win in the 2024 elections could pave the way for significant policy changes, according to Morgan Stanley. The global financial services firm anticipates growth and innovation, particularly in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42158682/donald-trumps-win-positive-for-financials-energy-sector-as-pro-growth-effects-will-outweigh-inflationary-pressures-says-analyst">technology </a>and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-natural-gas-stocks">natural gas</a> sectors. However, it also cautions that concerns over trade tariffs, immigration policies, fiscal sustainability, and the scope and timing of new policies may constrain the broader economic outlook.
Morgan Stanley&#8217;s Picks
Markets have reacted positively to President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s victory and have been trading higher than the pre-election levels. However, slower-than-expected deregulation and shallower tax cuts could impact the markets, Morgan Stanley's Global Investment Office believes investors should keep an eye on the following areas:
Energy As per Morgan Stanley, the energy sector faces a divided future. Trump&#8217;s deregulation could benefit traditional energy, but oil&#8217;s outlook is uncertain due to potential oversupply and weak global demand, especially from China. In contrast, natural gas may see growth from strong European demand and increased domestic use for electrification and AI-powered data centers. The clean energy sector could face challenges, if Trump rollbacks Biden&#8217;s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act tax credits. But a full repeal seems unlikely due to the benefits for Republican states.
Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight ETF (ACRA: RSP) has risen by 17.36% on a year-to-date basis. While, the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (ACRA: IWD) and Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index ETF (ACRA: VYM) advanced by 18.56% and 18.96%, respectively, in the same period, underperforming the S&amp;P 500 on a year-to-date basis, which has grown by 28.41% in the same period. Whereas, ProShares S&amp;P 500 Ex-Energy ETF (ACRA: SPXE) grew by 28.85% year-to-date, outperforming the index.

Defense U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42369000/booz-allen-and-palantir-partner-to-drive-us-defense-operations">defense</a> spending is expected to stay robust amid rising geopolitical tensions, says Morgan Stanley. However, European defense stocks have outperformed U.S. ones due to uncertainty about U.S. NATO involvement and increased spending by other NATO members.
Trump during his first post-election network interview with NBC News on Sunday said &#8220;If they&#8217;re paying their bills, and if I think they&#8217;re treating us fairly, absolutely, I would stay with NATO.&#8221;
Moreover, technological advancements in cybersecurity, AI, drones, and other areas are also favoring smaller, specialized companies over traditional defense giants, added Morgan Stanley.
As per the <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data, the S&amp;P 500 Aerospace &amp; Defense Industry Index has risen by 15.78% year-to-date, whereas Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), RTX Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) and iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (ACRA: ITA) have grown by 12.48%, 38.45% and 20.15%, respectively in the same period.

Technology And Communication According to Morgan Stanley, the technology sector may see mixed outcomes. Cryptocurrencies and AI industries could benefit from Trump&#8217;s favorable stance. Whereas investments in reshoring semiconductors through the CHIPS Act may strengthen those areas, highlighting AI as a national security priority. However, social media and information companies may continue facing regulatory and antitrust challenges.
Major AI payers in the U.S. stock markets include Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with a 195.7% year-to-date performance and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) 19.6% growth in the same period.

Morgan Stanley Narrows Down Winning And Losing Bets In The First 100 Days Of Trump Administration

Donald Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/11/41968003/gold-drops-to-a-two-month-low-as-investors-turn-to-bitcoin-after-trumps-victory-but-this-economist-remains-confident-that-gold-will-surge">win is positive for the financial and energy sectors</a> as the &#8220;pro-growth effects of fiscal stimulus currently outweigh the inflationary risks in the near term​​​&#8221; according to an analyst. 
What Happened: Mario Georgiou, CFA and executive director, head of investments at InCred Global Wealth U.K., in an exclusive conversation with <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>, described tax cuts and deregulation as tailwinds to the markets. He considers inflationary policies such as tariffs and immigration impacts as headwinds, leading to a steepening yield curve, and higher term premiums.
&#8220;Financials offer an attractive risk-reward and that this recent post-election rally has room to run,&#8221; added Georgiou. According to him &#8220;financials are not only well positioned to capture the benefits of the above-mentioned Trump tailwinds, but are also less impacted / would even benefit from the Trump headwinds.&#8221;
Despite a few dips, the equity markets have been trading higher than the pre-election levels after President-elect Trump&#8217;s victory. The S&amp;P 500 has increased by 3.22%, rising from $5,782.76 on Nov. 5 to $5,969.34 as of Friday&#8217;s close. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index has had a similar momentum, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Meanwhile, Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (ACRA: XLF), Vanguard Financials ETF (ACRA: VFH), iShares U.S. Financials ETF (ACRA: IYF), and SPDR S&amp;P Bank ETF (ACRA: KBE), have returned over 30% year-to-date in 2024 outperforming the S&amp;P 500 Index&#8217;s 26% run.

Other sectors that Georgiou prefers, include energy. According to him &#8220;deregulation supporting oil production and geopolitical risks could sustain elevated oil prices and relative valuations are attractive.&#8221;
Even though the energy sector has underperformed the broader markets in 2024, &#8220;fundamentally, companies are shareholder friendly with 8-12% shareholder yields, have strong balance sheets with low net debt to EBITDA ratios and high free cash flow yields of 6.50% and above,&#8221; he adds.
Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight ETF (ACRA: RSP), iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (ACRA: IWD), Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index ETF (ACRA: VYM) and ProShares S&amp;P 500 Ex-Energy ETF (ACRA: SPXE) have all underperformed the S&amp;P 500 on a year-to-date basis.
Why It Matters: As markets hit their 51st record high of 2024 and the S&amp;P 500 Index crossed 6,000 points, some analysts caution that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42134031/markets-got-it-wrong-after-elections-prospects-of-tariffs-not-good-for-equities-vs-dollar-says-ex-goldman-sachs-analyst"> tariffs could pose risks </a>to equities and suggest that the market may be overvalued.
&#8220;The prospect of tariffs isn't obviously good for equities, while it's clearly good for the Dollar," former Goldman Sachs FX strategist and senior fellow at Brookings Institution, Robin Brooks said in an X post. "Markets initially got this wrong, driving stocks up sharply right after Nov. 5,&#8221; he added.
However, Georgiou is &#8220;cautiously optimistic&#8221; about the markets, he said &#8220;a neutral to fully invested equity allocation is warranted, with a focus on sectors benefiting from Trump's policies, whilst always maintaining our core investment principles, which is a focus on fundamentals, quality, and risk management.&#8221;

Walmart Division Sam's Club Raises Wages For Hourly Associates: A Strategic Move To Stay Ahead In Retail

Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) plans another round of job cuts in its TV division, targeting a shrinking segment of its business.
The company will eliminate about 140 positions, representing roughly 2% of staff at Disney Entertainment Television, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-31/disney-plans-a-new-round-of-job-cuts-in-its-television-operation?sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
These cuts will significantly affect networks like NatGeo and Freeform, reducing their programming. ABC stations will also see job reductions as part of this cost-saving effort.
Disney is striving to balance the need for streaming investments against the rapid decline of its profitable cable networks.
NatGeo will see about 13% of its staff cut, focusing its remaining efforts on a few shows like Genius: MLK/X.
Freeform, targeting a teen audience with shows like Grown-ish, has seen its viewership shift to streaming, prompting further cuts. Disney is also cutting jobs in its marketing and publicity teams, Bloomberg writes.

Disney Plans More Layoffs in TV Unit, Focuses on Streaming Investments: Report

Launched on 05/22/2000, the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (ARCA:IWD) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
The fund is sponsored by Blackrock. It has amassed assets over $55.66 billion, making it the largest ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
Why Large Cap Value
Companies that fall in the large cap category tend to have a market capitalization above $10 billion. Considered a more stable option, large cap companies boast more predictable cash flows and are less volatile than their mid and small cap counterparts.
Carrying lower than average price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, value stocks also have lower than average sales and earnings growth rates. Looking at their long-term performance, value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in almost all markets. They are however likely to underperform growth stocks in strong bull markets.
Costs
Investors should also pay attention to an ETF&#39;s expense ratio. Lower cost products will produce better results than those with a higher cost, assuming all other metrics remain the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.19%, making it one of the cheaper products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.96%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund&#39;s holdings before investing. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Financials sector--about 23% of the portfolio. Industrials and Healthcare round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Berkshire Hathaway Inc Class B&nbsp;accounts for about 3.54% of total assets, followed by JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co&nbsp;and Exxon Mobil Corp&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/xom#NYSE">XOM</a>).
The top 10 holdings account for about 17.89% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
IWD seeks to match the performance of the Russell 1000 Value Index before fees and expenses. The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large-capitalization value sector of the U.S. equity market.
The ETF has added about 6.18% so far this year and is up about 13.62% in the last one year (as of 07/09/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $143.69 and $179.11.
The ETF has a beta of 0.95 and standard deviation of 15.18% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 851 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
IShares Russell 1000 Value ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 1 (Strong Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, IWD is a great option for investors seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value segment of the market. There are other additional ETFs in the space that investors could consider as well.
The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (ARCA:SCHD) and the Vanguard Value ETF (ARCA:VTV) track a similar index. While Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF has $54.39 billion in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $115.94 billion. SCHD has an expense ratio of 0.06% and VTV charges 0.04%.
Bottom-Line
Passively managed ETFs are becoming increasingly popular with institutional as well as retail investors due to their low cost, transparency, flexibility and tax efficiency. They are excellent vehicles for long term investors.

Should iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF Be on Your Investing Radar?

Growth stocks are experiencing a remarkable resurgence, posting their best month in over a year when compared to value stocks, as the rally in tech and mega caps continues<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets"> to dominate market dynamics. </a>
The iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWF#NYSE">IWF</a>) has surged by 6.5% so far in June 2024. This gain puts it on track for its seventh month of increases in the last eight.
Investors have shown elevated confidence in growth-oriented sectors, particularly technology, which continues to benefit from strong earnings reports, heightened expectations for future cash flows and positive market sentiment, especially towards AI-related industries.
In stark contrast, the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWD#NYSE">IWD</a>), representing the other major equity style, has declined by 1.4% in June. 
This divergence highlights the challenges facing value stocks, which typically encompass sectors like financials, energy, utilities, and consumer staples. These sectors have struggled to attract investor interest due to their less impressive performance and subdued earnings expectations.
The performance gap between growth and value in June 2024 stands at a striking 7.9 percentage points, marking the most substantial monthly performance difference since May 2023. 
With one trading week remaining in the month, if the gap exceeds 9.6 percentage points, previously reached in March 2020, it will mark the largest one-month outperformance of growth over value ever recorded.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">4 Key Factors Driving Growth&#8217;s Outperformance Over Value</h3>
Technology Sector&#8217;s Dominance in Growth ETFs: The technology sector&#8217;s heavy weighting in growth-related ETFs has been the main driver of their outperformance. In the Russell 1000 Growth ETF, tech stocks comprise a substantial 47% of the portfolio. In stark contrast, the Russell 1000 Value ETF allocates only 9.5% to tech stocks.
Impact of Chipmakers on Growth Performance: Within the tech sector, the substantial weighting of chipmakers in growth funds has been another critical factor, as they have been the main beneficiaries of the current AI-driven rally. The semiconductor sector represents 17% of the growth ETF, compared to a mere 4.2% in the value ETF.
Absence of Nvidia, Magnificent 6 In Value ETFs: Notably, &#8220;The Magnificent 6&#8221; – as named by Bank of America – Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) – are absent from the value-linked ETF but collectively hold a 50% weight in the growth ETF.
Stock Concentration and Market Breadth Differences: The higher stock concentration in growth-related ETFs compared to value socks is another crucial factor, especially in the current context of poor market breadth. The top 10 stocks in the Russell 1000 Growth ETF comprise 57% of the overall portfolio, whereas the top 10 in the value-related ETF account for only 17% of the total weight.

Growth Stocks Leave Value Stocks In The Dust: 4 Reasons For Biggest Monthly Lead In Over A Year

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market, the iShares Select Dividend ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dvy#NASDAQ">DVY</a>) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 11/03/2003.
The fund is sponsored by Blackrock (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/blk#NYSE">BLK</a>). It has amassed assets over $17.87 billion, making it one of the largest ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
Why Large Cap Value
Companies that find themselves in the large cap category typically have a market capitalization above $10 billion. Overall, they are usually a stable option, with less risk and more sure-fire cash flows than mid and small cap companies.
Value stocks are known for their lower than average price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, but investors should also note their lower than average sales and earnings growth rates. When you look at long-term performance, value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in nearly all markets. But in strong bull markets, growth stocks are more likely to be winners.
Costs
Investors should also pay attention to an ETF&#39;s expense ratio. Lower cost products will produce better results than those with a higher cost, assuming all other metrics remain the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.38%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 3.84%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund&#39;s holdings before investing. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Utilities sector--about 28.50% of the portfolio. Financials and Consumer Staples round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Altria Group Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mo#NYSE">MO</a>) accounts for about 2.94% of total assets, followed by AT&amp;T Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/t#NYSE">T</a>) and Verizon Communications Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vz#NYSE">VZ</a>).
The top 10 holdings account for about 18.21% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
DVY seeks to match the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index before fees and expenses. The Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index measures the performance of a selected group of equity securities issued by companies that have provided relatively high dividend yields on a consistent basis over time.
The ETF has added roughly 3.56% so far this year and was up about 8.57% in the last one year (as of 06/18/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $102.97 and $125.75.
The ETF has a beta of 0.88 and standard deviation of 15.82% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 107 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
IShares Select Dividend ETF carries a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 (Hold), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Thus, DVY is a reasonable option for those seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value area of the market. Investors might also want to consider some other ETF options in the space.
The iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (ARCA:IWD) and the Vanguard Value ETF (ARCA:VTV) track a similar index. While iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF has $54.76 billion in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $116.20 billion. IWD has an expense ratio of 0.19% and VTV charges 0.04%.
Bottom-Line
Passively managed ETFs are becoming increasingly popular with institutional as well as retail investors due to their low cost, transparency, flexibility and tax efficiency. They are excellent vehicles for long term investors.

iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index Fund

Should iShares Select Dividend ETF Be on Your Investing Radar?

A smart beta exchange traded fund, the Invesco FTSE RAFI US 1000 ETF (ARCA:PRF) debuted on 12/19/2005, and offers broad exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value category of the market.
What Are Smart Beta ETFs?
The ETF industry has traditionally been dominated by products based on market capitalization weighted indexes that are designed to represent the market or a particular segment of the market.
Market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns, and are a good option for investors who believe in market efficiency.
But, there are some investors who would rather invest in smart beta funds; these funds track non-cap weighted strategies, and are a strong option for those who prefer choosing great stocks in order to beat the market.
These indexes attempt to select stocks that have better chances of risk-return performance, based on certain fundamental characteristics or a combination of such characteristics.
Even though this space provides many choices to investors--think one of the simplest methodologies like equal-weighting and more complicated ones like fundamental and volatility/momentum based weighting--not all have been able to deliver first-rate results.
Fund Sponsor &amp; Index
The fund is managed by Invesco, and has been able to amass over $6.81 billion, which makes it one of the larger ETFs in the Style Box - Large Cap Value. Before fees and expenses, PRF seeks to match the performance of the FTSE RAFI US 1000 Index.
The FTSE RAFI US 1000 Index is designed to track the performance of the largest U.S. equities, selected based on the following four fundamental measures of firm size: book value, income, sales and dividends. U.S. equities are then weighted by each of these four fundamental measures.An overall weight is calculated for each firm by equally-weighting each fundamental measure.
Cost &amp; Other Expenses
Investors should also pay attention to an ETF&#39;s expense ratio. Lower cost products will produce better results than those with a higher cost, assuming all other metrics remain the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.39%, making it on par with most peer products in the space.
It&#39;s 12-month trailing dividend yield comes in at 1.69%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure which minimizes single stock risk, it is still important to look into a fund&#39;s holdings before investing. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
For PRF, it has heaviest allocation in the Financials sector --about 20.20% of the portfolio --while Information Technology and Healthcare round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Berkshire Hathaway Inc accounts for about 2.30% of total assets, followed by Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/xom#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
Its top 10 holdings account for approximately 16.93% of PRF&#39;s total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
So far this year, PRF has gained about 8.19%, and is up about 19.89% in the last one year (as of 06/13/2024). During this past 52-week period, the fund has traded between $30.37 and $38.58.
The ETF has a beta of 0.99 and standard deviation of 15.74% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 1014 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Invesco FTSE RAFI US 1000 ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Large Cap Value segment of the market. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider.
IShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (ARCA:IWD) tracks Russell 1000 Value Index and the Vanguard Value ETF (ARCA:VTV) tracks CRSP U.S. Large Cap Value Index. IShares Russell 1000 Value ETF has $54.84 billion in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $115.35 billion. IWD has an expense ratio of 0.19% and VTV charges 0.04%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Large Cap Value.

PowerShares Exchange Traded Fund FTSE RAFI US 1000 Portfolio

Is Invesco FTSE RAFI US 1000 ETF a Strong ETF Right Now?

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value category of the market, the Invesco S&amp;P 500 Pure Value ETF (ARCA:RPV) is a smart beta exchange traded fund launched on 03/01/2006.
What Are Smart Beta ETFs?
For a long time now, the ETF industry has been flooded with products based on market capitalization weighted indexes, which are designed to represent the broader market or a particular market segment.
Market cap weighted indexes work great for investors who believe in market efficiency. They provide a low-cost, convenient and transparent way of replicating market returns.
There are some investors, though, who think it&#39;s possible to beat the market with great stock selection; this group likely invests in another class of funds known as smart beta, which track non-cap weighted strategies.
Non-cap weighted indexes try to choose stocks that have a better chance of risk-return performance, which is based on specific fundamental characteristics, or a mix of other such characteristics.
Even though this space provides many choices to investors--think one of the simplest methodologies like equal-weighting and more complicated ones like fundamental and volatility/momentum based weighting--not all have been able to deliver first-rate results.
Fund Sponsor &amp; Index
The fund is managed by Invesco. RPV has been able to amass assets over $2.01 billion, making it one of the average sized ETFs in the Style Box - Large Cap Value. This particular fund seeks to match the performance of the S&amp;P 500 Pure Value Index before fees and expenses.
The S&amp;P 500 Pure Value Index measures the performance of securities that exhibit strong value characteristics in the S&amp;P 500 Index.
Cost &amp; Other Expenses
Cost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive cousins if all other fundamentals are the same.
With on par with most peer products in the space, this ETF has annual operating expenses of 0.35%.
It&#39;s 12-month trailing dividend yield comes in at 2.35%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
Most ETFs are very transparent products, and disclose their holdings on a daily basis. ETFs also offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, though it&#39;s still important for investors to research a fund&#39;s holdings.
RPV&#39;s heaviest allocation is in the Financials sector, which is about 30.60% of the portfolio. Its Healthcare and Consumer Discretionary round out the top three.
When you look at individual holdings, General Motors Co (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gm#NYSE">GM</a>) accounts for about 4.02% of the fund&#39;s total assets, followed by Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRK/B) and Ford Motor Co (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>).
The top 10 holdings account for about 25.57% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
The ETF has gained about 3.79% so far this year and is up roughly 15.51% in the last one year (as of 06/07/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $67.85 and $88.44.
The fund has a beta of 1.17 and standard deviation of 19.08% for the trailing three-year period, which makes RPV a medium risk choice in this particular space. With about 98 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives

"Together, we find the risk/reward particularly compelling at current levels, with upside/downside of approximately 6:1," Chaiken stated.
Shares of Norwegian Cruise Holdings rose 3.91% to $16.63 on Tuesday at publication.

Airbnb, Norwegian Cruise See Analyst Upgrades: Are Travel And Leisure Stocks The New Value Heaven?

Designed to provide broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market, the ALPS (BATS: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ousa#BATS">OUSA</a>) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 07/14/2015.
The fund is sponsored by Alps. It has amassed assets over $755.51 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
Why Large Cap Value
Companies that fall in the large cap category tend to have a market capitalization above $10 billion. Overall, they are usually a stable option, with less risk and more sure-fire cash flows than mid and small cap companies.
While value stocks have lower than average price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, they also have lower than average sales and earnings growth rates. Considering long-term performance, value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in almost all markets; however, they are more likely to underperform growth stocks in strong bull markets.
Costs
Expense ratios are an important factor in the return of an ETF and in the long term, cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts, other things remaining the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.48%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.68%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure that minimizes single stock risk, investors should also look at the actual holdings inside the fund. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Information Technology sector--about 23.60% of the portfolio. Healthcare and Financials round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) accounts for about 5.55% of total assets, followed by Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and JPmorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jpm#NYSE">JPM</a>).
The top 10 holdings account for about 40.55% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
OUSA seeks to match the performance of the FTSE US Qual / Vol / Yield Factor 5% Capped Index before fees and expenses. The OShares U.S. Quality Dividend Index measures the performance of publicly-listed large-capitalization and mid-capitalization dividend-paying issuers in the United States.
The ETF has added roughly 7.72% so far this year and it&#39;s up approximately 18.70% in the last one year (as of 05/20/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $40.56 and $49.41.
The ETF has a beta of 0.88 and standard deviation of 13.78% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 101 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
ALPS holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 (Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, OUSA is an outstanding option for investors seeking exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value segment of the market. There are other additional ETFs in the space that investors could consider as well.
The iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (ARCA:IWD) and the Vanguard Value ETF (ARCA:VTV) track a similar index. While iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF has $56.44 billion in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $117.23 billion. IWD has an expense ratio of 0.19% and VTV charges 0.04%.
Bottom-Line
While an excellent vehicle for long term investors, passively managed ETFs are a popular choice among institutional and retail investors due to their low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency.

Should ALPS Be on Your Investing Radar?

The WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend ETF (ARCA:DLN) was launched on 06/16/2006, and is a smart beta exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Style Box - Large Cap Value category of the market.
What Are Smart Beta ETFs?
The ETF industry has long been dominated by products based on market cap weighted indexes, a strategy created to reflect the market or a particular market segment.
A good option for investors who believe in market efficiency, market cap weighted indexes offer a low-cost, convenient, and transparent way of replicating market returns.
However, some investors believe in the possibility of beating the market through exceptional stock selection, and choose a different type of fund that tracks non-cap weighted strategies: smart beta.
These indexes attempt to select stocks that have better chances of risk-return performance, based on certain fundamental characteristics or a combination of such characteristics.
This area offers many different investment choices, such as simplest equal-weighting, fundamental weighting and volatility/momentum based weighting methodologies; however, not all of these strategies can deliver superior results.
Fund Sponsor &amp; Index
Managed by Wisdomtree, DLN has amassed assets over $4.01 billion, making it one of the larger ETFs in the Style Box - Large Cap Value. This particular fund, before fees and expenses, seeks to match the performance of the WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend Index.
The WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend Index is a fundamentally weighted index that measures the performance of the large-capitalization segment of the U.S. dividend-paying market.
Cost &amp; Other Expenses
Investors should also pay attention to an ETF&#39;s expense ratio. Lower cost products will produce better results than those with a higher cost, assuming all other metrics remain the same.
Annual operating expenses for DLN are 0.28%, which makes it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 2.21%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
It is important to delve into an ETF&#39;s holdings before investing despite the many upsides to these kinds of funds like diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
DLN&#39;s heaviest allocation is in the Information Technology sector, which is about 20.50% of the portfolio. Its Financials and Healthcare round out the top three.
When you look at individual holdings, Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/msft#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) accounts for about 3.74% of the fund&#39;s total assets, followed by JPmorgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jpm#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Apple Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
DLN&#39;s top 10 holdings account for about 26.98% of its total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
Year-to-date, the WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend ETF has added roughly 9.88% so far, and it&#39;s up approximately 21.03% over the last 12 months (as of 05/20/2024). DLN has traded between $58.89 and $72.50 in this past 52-week period.
The ETF has a beta of 0.88 and standard deviation of 13.82% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 303 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend ETF is a reasonable option for investors seeking to outperform the Style Box - Large Cap Value segment of the market. However, there are other ETFs in the space which investors could consider.
IShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (ARCA:IWD) tracks Russell 1000 Value Index and the Vanguard Value ETF (ARCA:VTV) tracks CRSP U.S. Large Cap Value Index. IShares Russell 1000 Value ETF has $56.44 billion in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $117.23 billion. IWD has an expense ratio of 0.19% and VTV charges 0.04%.
Investors looking for cheaper and lower-risk options should consider traditional market cap weighted ETFs that aim to match the returns of the Style Box - Large Cap Value.

Is WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend ETF a Strong ETF Right Now?

Bank of America&#8217;s technical analyst Stephen Suttmeier shed light on the diverging paths of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-growth-stocks">value and growth stocks</a>, underscored by the performance of the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWF#NYSE">IWF</a>) and the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWD#NYSE">IWD</a>). 
Despite both reaching unprecedented heights, the future seems to favor one over the other, as Suttmeier <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">highlighted in a note. </a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Diverging Path: The Growth vs. Value Dichotomy</h3>
Over the past year, the gap between growth and value has widened, with growth outperforming value by 20 percentage points. 
This divergence has become even more pronounced over the last seven years, reaching a staggering near 100 percentage point difference.

The underperformance of value stocks compared to growth is notably attributed to the absence of the so-called Magnificent 7 stocks in its portfolio. This includes tech giants and industry leaders absent from the IWD&#8217;s top holdings.
The iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF features Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKR#NYSE">BKR</a>), JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and ExxonMobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) as its top three holdings, with weights of 3.5%, 2.7%, and 2.1%, respectively. 
Conversely, the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF boasts Microsoft Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NYSE">MSFT</a>), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) as its top three holdings, with weights of 12.1%, 9.5%, and 8.2%, respectively.
Notably, the growth ETF is heavily concentrated in three sectors — technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services. These sectors account for over 70% of the ETF&#8217;s composition, with the top 10 holdings comprising more than 50% of the portfolio. 
Conversely, the value ETF demonstrates greater diversification across sectors and stocks, with financials, industrials, and healthcare collectively making up 50% of its portfolio. Moreover, the top 10 holdings represent only 17% of the value ETF&#8217;s portfolio.
Technical Analysis: Value vs. Growth
From a technical standpoint, Bank of America&#8217;s analysis indicates that IWF has breakout point supports near 312 and 287-285, with upward pattern counts from its 2022-2023 cup and handle pattern at 370 and 420. Following a bullish triangle completion in 2022-2023, IWF has surged to new all-time highs, suggesting further upside potential.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="495" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/25124228/image-53-1024x495.png" alt="" class="wp-image-264264" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/25124228/image-53-1024x495.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/25124228/image-53-300x145.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/25124228/image-53-768x372.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/25124228/image-53-1536x743.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/25124228/image-53.png 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
On the other hand, IWD shows breakout point supports at 171-169 and in the low 160s, with a bullish triangle target from 2022-2023 at 195 and an additional upside count at 208. 
While both ETFs demonstrate potential for further gains, the analyst emphasizes that Growth has maintained its market leadership, whereas Value remains in a long-term lagging trend compared to the S&amp;P 500 index.
Despite IWF&#8217;s relative strength stalling at its 2020 and 2021 highs versus the SPX, the leadership trend for Growth remains intact, particularly above its bullish and rising weekly relative Moving Averages (MAs). 
Conversely, the lagging trend for IWD versus the SPX persists below the declining 13-, 26-, and 40-week MAs, along with chart resistance at the January 2024 lower high and the prior 2021-2020 lows relative to the SPX.

Value, Growth Stocks Trade At Record Highs But Long-Term Leadership Lies With One: Analyst

A top Wall Street analyst has issued a cautionary note, warning of a potential sharp reversal in the stock market during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/23/06/33001575/market-volatility-increases-s-p-500-snaps-5-week-winning-streak" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">second half of 2023</a>. 
According to Michael Wilson, Morgan Stanley&#8217;s chief U.S. equity strategist and chief investment officer, the market&#8217;s headwinds presently outweigh its tailwinds, indicating a significant likelihood of a severe correction. Wilson&#8217;s estimate implies that the S&amp;P 500 Index, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) may see a 10% drop in the second half of the year, with a target level of 3,900. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is Morgan Stanley Near-Term Bearish On The Stock Market?</h2>
&#8220;A 20% rally does not guarantee [the] bear market is over,&#8221; Wilson wrote in his latest presentation. 
The analyst drew on the historical parallel of the period immediately following World War II, between 1946 and 1949, when the S&amp;P 500 made a double bottom after rallying 24% from the first low.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="737" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/26102358/SPX_2023-06-26_16-23-05_e3589-1024x737.png" alt="" class="wp-image-57923" srcset="https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/26102358/SPX_2023-06-26_16-23-05_e3589-1024x737.png 1024w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/26102358/SPX_2023-06-26_16-23-05_e3589-300x216.png 300w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/26102358/SPX_2023-06-26_16-23-05_e3589-768x553.png 768w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/26102358/SPX_2023-06-26_16-23-05_e3589-1536x1106.png 1536w,https://s3.amazonaws.com/editorial.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/26102358/SPX_2023-06-26_16-23-05_e3589.png 1708w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
This pessimistic outlook stems from Morgan Stanley&#8217;s lower-than-expected earnings forecast for the year, which anticipates pricing erosion and disappointing top-line performance. 
&#8220;The Equity risk premium is at very unattractive levels, particularly given our earnings outlook,&#8221; Wilson said. The expert highlighted that stocks are trading in a &#8220;high risk zone,&#8221; susceptible to a sharp rise in the equity risk premium.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Headwinds From Restrictive Monetary and Fiscal Policies</h2>
Furthermore, Morgan Stanley noted that the United States&#8217; economic policies are turning more restrictive, putting additional pressure on equities. 
The liquidity environment is rapidly deteriorating, owing to record levels of Treasury issuance and quantitative tightening. Morgan Stanley predicts that bank reserves will shrink by $500-800 billion over the next six months, potentially lowering equity valuations. Wilson noted that the money supply growth is at the lowest levels since the 1930s.

Fiscal support is expected to peak and reverse next month, potentially creating a headwind of 6 percentage points to nominal GDP over the next year.
The outlook is more optimistic for 2024, as Wilson expects another earnings boom following a &#8220;proper bust&#8221; in 2023. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Alternative Scenario? The Average Stock Will Fare Better, Value Will Stage A Comeback</h2>
Wilson also made recommendations for an alternative scenario. 
Should his earnings forecast be incorrect, he expects market breadth to improve, with the equal-weighted S&amp;P 500, as tracked by the Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RSP#NYSE">RSP</a>), outperforming the market-cap weighted S&amp;P 500. 
The average stock is expected to fare relatively better both in a more optimistic and more pessimistic scenario, either by rising more or declining less. 
Furthermore, Morgan Stanley believes that value stocks, as tracked by the Ishares Russell 1000 Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWD#NYSE">IWD</a>), may outperform growth stocks, which are tracked by the Ishares Russell 1000 growth ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWF#NYSE">IWF</a>) as defensive sectors regain their previous year&#8217;s leadership.

Top Wall Street Analyst Warns Of 'Proper Bust' In 2023: Stocks Are Trading In 'High Risk Zone'

최근 주식 시장에 관심을 기울여왔다면, 가치주가 화려한 성장주의 중심에서 떠오르고 있는 다소 의외의 상황을 목격한 적이 있을 것이다. 3개월 동안 러셀 1000 가치 지수는 러셀 1000 성장 지수를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/03/44555763/value-stocks-are-crushing-growth-superstars-in-2025-is-more-to-come" target="_blank" rel="noopener">11%나 앞질렀다.</a> 작년 이맘때만 해도 기술과 인공지능(AI)이 시장을 주도했던 것과는 확연히 다른 모습이다.
관세, 지정학적 긴장, 경기침체 불안이 소용돌이치면서 투자자들은 상대적으로 안전한 가치주에 몰리고 있다. 하지만 이것이 영구적인 추세일까, 아니면 일시적인 횡보일까? 시장이 어떻게 될지 아무도 확신할 수 없지만, 역사적으로 가치주는 어려운 시기를 잘 견디는 경향이 있다.
가치주의 흐름에 편승하고 있다면 아래의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">가치주 기반 ETF 4가지</a>를 고려할 만하다.
iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWD#NYSE">IWD</a>)
러셀 1000 가치 지수를 추종하려는 대부분의 투자자가 가장 먼저 선택하는 IWD는 금융, 헬스케어, 필수소비재 등 다양한 섹터의 대형주 가치주에 대한 폭넓은 노출을 제공한다. 보유 종목 중 일부에는 JP모건 체이스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), 엑손모빌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), 프록터앤드갬블(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>)의 주식이 포함된다. 규모와 유동성을 갖춘 이 ETF는 가치주 섹터에 분산 투자할 수 있는 편리한 수단이다. 운용보수율은 0.19%이다.
Vanguard Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VTV#NYSE">VTV</a>)
운용보수율이 0.04%인 저렴한 펀드인 VTV는 CRSP 미국 대형주 가치 지수를 추종한다. 이 펀드에는 JP모건 체이스, 존슨앤존슨(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) 같은 우량주가 비중확대되어 있어 안정성과 장기 성장에 대한 좋은 투자처이다.
SPDR S&amp;P 500 Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPYV#NYSE">SPYV</a>)
더 큰 S&amp;P 500의 일부인 가치주에 노출되기를 원한다면 SPYV를 고려할 수 있다. 이 ETF는 주가수익비율과 주가순자산비율이 낮은 S&amp;P 500 주식 중 가치주 특징을 강하게 반영하는 종목을 대상으로 한다. 가치주와 성장주 간 밸류에이션 차이가 지금처럼 높기 때문에 이 ETF는 시장 조정 시 수익을 낼 수 있다. 포트폴리오는 IWD 및 VTV와 유사하며 운용보수율은 0.04%이다.
Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>)
배당주는 가치주와 겹치는 경향이 있는데, SCHD가 대표적인 사례다. 고배당 기업에 집중 투자하는 이 ETF는 투자자에게 가치주에 노출될 뿐만 아니라 시장 불확실성 속에서도 꾸준한 수익을 제공한다. 포트폴리오에는 코카콜라(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>), 펩시코(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), 화이자(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) 같은 우량 브랜드가 포함되어 있으며 운용보수율은 0.06%이다.
<h3>가치주가 우위를 유지할 수 있는 이유</h3>
지난 분기 가치주의 시장수익률 상회는 단순히 시장의 불안감을 넘어선 것이다. 블랙록의 펀더멘털 주식 글로벌 CIO인 토니 드스피리토의 <a href="https://www.blackrock.com/us/individual/insights/value-stocks-underweight-and-unaware?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">말처럼</a> 현재 성장주가 S&amp;P 500에서 차지하는 비중이 거의 40%로 장기 평균인 24%의 두 배가 넘기 때문이다.
밸류에이션이 상향 조정됨에 따라 투자자들은 분산투자를 위해 가치주 투자로 전환할 수 있다. 또한 유틸리티, 헬스케어, 소재와 같은 섹터는 가치주 지수의 필수 업종으로 관세에 덜 취약하고 무역 정책 변화의 긍정적인 영향을 받을 수도 있다.
성장주는 시간이 지나면 회복될 수 있지만, 현재 시장 환경은 가치주에 유리하게 작용하고 있다. 이러한 추세에 관심이 있는 투자자들은 가치 투자에 초점을 맞춘 위 4가지 ETF를 고려해 볼만하다.

올해 들어 지금까지 가치주는 성장주에 대한 시장의 기대를 뒤집어 놓았다. 러셀 1000 가치 지수가 단 3개월 만에 러셀 1000 성장 지수를 11% 상회한 것이다.
iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWD#NYSE">IWD</a>)는 러셀 1000 가치 지수를 추적하고, iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWF#NYSE">IWF</a>)는 러셀 1000 성장 지수를 추적하는데, 올해는 가치 지수 펀드가 10% 가까이 앞서고 있다.
지난번 동일한 상황이 발생했던 시기는 2022년 하락장 때였다. 금리 상승, 지속적인 인플레이션, 그리고 부당한 고평가로 인해 투자자들은 자금을 더 안전한 곳에 투자하기 위해 서둘러 움직였다. 그러나 2024년에는 금리 인하와 기술 및 AI 주식의 강력한 모멘텀에 힘입어 성장주가 다시 모멘텀을 회복했다.
현재 미국 증시는 관세, 지정학적 긴장, 그리고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44554304/goldman-sachs-raises-us-recession-risk-to-35-expects-inflation-at-3-5-in-2025-amid-tariff-uncertainties-economist-mohamed-el-erian-highlights-stagflationary-twist">새로운 경기침체 우려</a>까지 겹쳐 혼란에 빠진 상태다. 투자자들은 다시 한 번 가치주에서 안정을 찾고 있다. 그러나 이러한 현상이 계속될까, 아니면 반전을 기다리고 있는 일시적인 추세일까?
<h3>가치주가 더 탄력적인 이유는?</h3>
가치주는 자산, 수익, 미래 전망에 비해 현재 저평가된 주식이다. 따라서 변동성과 불확실성이 높은 시기에는 특히 성장주와 비교할 때 하락 위험이 제한적이다.
이 외에도 가치주, 펀드, ETF는 일반적으로 관세의 영향을 받지 않는 헬스케어 및 유틸리티 같은 분야에 집중되어 있다. 마찬가지로, 미국에서 가치주의 다른 큰 부분을 차지하는 기초 소재, <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/guidance/25/03/44432858/us-steel-faces-q1-pressures-but-eyes-long-term-gains-from-br2-nippon-partnership">철강</a>, 알루미늄 및 기타 산업은 트럼프 대통령의 무역 전쟁의 혜택을 받을 것으로 보인다.
<h3>2025년에 가치주가 반등할 이유는?</h3>
블랙록(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) 최고투자책임자인 토니 데스피리토에 따르면, 올해 시장수익률이 시장수익률을 상회할 것으로 예상되는 또 다른 이유는 성장주가 최근 몇 년 동안 경험한 놀라운 상승세 때문이다. 성장주는 현재 S&amp;P 500 지수의 거의 40%를 차지하고 있으며, 이는 과거 평균인 24%보다 훨씬 높은 수치다.
이는 투자자들이 시장 혼란과 불확실성이 존재하지 않더라도 가치주 선택에 대한 다각화와 더 많은 노출을 추구할 것이기 때문에 조정이 필요하다는 것을 의미한다.
또한 데스피리토는 러셀 성장 지수와 가치 지수 간의 밸류에이션 격차가 2000년 12월 이후 가장 큰 수준에 도달했다고 언급했는데, 이는 2002년까지 3년 동안 지속된 약세장을 촉발한 2000년 12월 이후 가장 큰 수준이다.

도널드 트럼프의 미국 대선 승리는 주식 랠리를 촉발시켰다. 핀테크 기업 어프리시에이트(Appreciate)의 최고 비즈니스 책임자인 요게시 칸살(Yogesh Kansal)은 "감세와 규제완화가 기업 수익 증가로 이어질 것"이라는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42158682/donald-trumps-win-positive-for-financials-energy-sector-as-pro-growth-effects-will-outweigh-inflationary-pressures-says-analyst">트럼프 행정부의 계획</a>에 따라 이러한 상승세는 지속될 것으로 전망했다. 그는 석유와 천연가스처럼 규제가 심한 분야가 트럼프 행정부 하에서 혜택을 받을 것이라고 덧붙였다.
무슨 일 있었나: 감세 및 규제완화는 주식 시장에 긍정적이지만, 트럼프 행정부의 이민과 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42178994/trump-says-he-will-impose-25-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-on-first-day-of-office-and-extra-tariffs-on-china-until-they-pay-attention">관세 인상</a>에 대한 입장은 시장에 반대되는 영향을 미친다.
칸살은 이민자 추방으로 인해 "모든 기업의 인건비가 상승할 것이며, 이는 기본적으로 기업의 수익성이 하락한다는 것을 의미한다&#8221;고 했다. 또한 관세가 부과되면 "글로벌 수요"의 변화로 인해 "주가가 더 낮아질 수 있다"고 말했다.
모건스탠리도 12월 3일자 메모에서 무역 관세, 이민 정책, 재정 지속 가능성, 새로운 정책의 범위와 시기가 광범위한 경제 전망을 제약할 수 있다는 우려를 표명했다. 특히 기술 및 천연가스 부문의 성장과 혁신을 예상했다.

왜 중요한가: 칸살은 트럼프의 규제완화 시도로 인해 "에너지, 석유 및 가스, 의료, 은행과 같이 규제가 심한 산업이 순풍을 맞을 것"이라고 말한다.
Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight ETF(ACRA:RSP)는 연초 대비 17.3% 상승했다. 반면, iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWD#NYSE">IWD</a>)와 Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VYM#NYSE">VYM</a>)는 각각 18.56%와 18.96% 상승했으나, 같은 기간 S&amp;P 500의 연초 대비 28.41% 성장에 비해 저조한 성과를 보였다.
반면, ProShares S&amp;P 500 Ex-Energy ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPXE#NYSE">SPXE</a>)는 연초 대비 28.85% 성장하여 지수를 초과 성과를 기록했다.
다른 애널리스트들도 트럼프의 승리가 에너지 섹터의 호황으로 이어질 것이라고 말했다. 공인재무설계사(CFA) 겸 영국 인크레드 글로벌 웰스 투자 책임자인 마리오 조지우(Mario Georgiou)는 "석유 생산과 지정학적 위험을 지원하는 규제완화로 유가 상승이 지속될 수 있고 상대적 밸류에이션이 매력적"이라고 <a href=""https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42158682/donald-trumps-win-positive-for-financials-energy-sector-as-pro-growth-effects-will-outweigh-inflationary-pressures-says-analyst"">말했다</a>.
2024년 에너지 섹터가 전체 시장 대비 저조한 성과를 보였지만 "근본적으로 에너지 기업은 8~12%의 주주 수익률로 주주 친화적이며, 낮은 EBITDA 대비 순부채 비율과 6.50% 이상의 높은 잉여현금흐름 수익률로 견실한 대차대조표를 보유하고 있다"고 덧붙였다.
모건스탠리에 따르면 에너지 섹터는 분열된 미래에 직면해 있습. 트럼프의 규제완화는 전통적인 에너지에 도움이 될 수 있지만, 잠재적 공급 과잉과 특히 중국의 글로벌 수요 약세로 인해 석유에 대한 전망은 불확실하다. 반면 천연가스는 유럽의 강력한 수요와 전기화 및 AI 기반 데이터센터에 대한 국내 사용 증가로 인해 성장할 수 있다.
트럼프가 바이든의 2022년 인플레이션 감소법 세금 공제를 철회할 경우 청정에너지 부문은 어려움에 직면할 수 있다. 그러나 공화당 주에 대한 혜택으로 인해 전면적인 폐지는 어려울 것으로 보인다.
반면에 칸살은 인공지능 열풍이 불고 있는 기술 부문에 대해서도 긍정적이었다. "현재 미국 주식 시장을 이끄는 가장 큰 요인은 바로 AI다. AI의 생산성 향상에 대한 기대감 때문에 많은 활동과 많은 투자가 이루어지고 있다.&#8221;
그러나 조지우는 "채권 금리가 상승하면 미래 수익에 적용되는 할인율이 높아져 기술과 같은 고성장 업종에 불균형적인 영향을 미친다&#8221;며 &#8220;따라서 우리는 레버리지가 높고, 수익성이 떨어지는 기술주를 피하지만 그렇다고 해서 기술 섹터의 비중을 낮추지는 않는다&#8221;고 했다. 기술 섹터에는 충분히 우량한 기업이 있기 때문이다.
미국 주식 시장의 주요 AI 업체로는 연초 대비 195.7%의 상승률을 기록한 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)와 같은 기간 19.6%의 상승률을 기록한 마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)가 있다.
아마존(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)과 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)은 각각 연초 대비 51.42% 및 26.46% 상승했다. &#8220;따라서 향후 12개월 동안 소프트웨어와 하드웨어, 기술 산업이 FAANG 종목 및 엔비디아를 포함하여 잘 나갈 것이라고 생각한다&#8221;고 칸살을 덧붙였다.

모건스탠리에 따르면 2024년 대선에서 공화당의 승리는 상당한 정책 변화로 이어질 수 있다. 특히 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42158682/donald-trumps-win-positive-for-financials-energy-sector-as-pro-growth-effects-will-outweigh-inflationary-pressures-says-analyst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">기술 </a>및 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-natural-gas-stocks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">천연가스</a> 부문에서 성장과 혁신이 일어날 것으로 예상한다. 그러나 무역 관세, 이민 정책, 재정 지속 가능성, 새로운 정책의 범위와 시기에 대한 우려가 더 넓은 경제 전망을 제약할 수 있다고 경고한다.
<h3>모건스탠리의 추천 종목</h3>
시장은 도널드 트럼프 당선인의 승리에 긍정적으로 반응하며 선거 전 수준보다 높게 거래되고 있다. 하지만 예상보다 느린 규제 완화와 낮은 감세 폭이 시장에 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로, 모건스탠리 글로벌 투자 오피스는 투자자들이 다음 섹터를 주시해야 한다고 전했다.
에너지 섹터
모건스탠리에 따르면 에너지 섹터는 분열된 미래에 직면해 있다. 트럼프의 규제 완화는 전통적인 에너지에 도움이 될 수 있지만, 공급 과잉과 특히 중국의 글로벌 수요 약세로 인해 석유 전망은 불확실하다. 반면 천연가스는 유럽의 강력한 수요와 전기화 및 AI 기반 데이터 센터에 대한 국내 사용 증가로 인해 성장할 수 있다.
트럼프가 바이든의 2022년 인플레이션 감축법의 세금 공제를 철회하면 청정에너지 부문은 어려움에 직면할 수 있다. 그러나 공화당 주에 대한 혜택으로 인해 전면적인 철회는 어려울 것으로 보인다.
Invesco S&amp;P 500 Equal Weight ETF(ACRA: RSP)는 연초 대비 17.36% 상승했다. 같은 기간 동안 iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF(ACRA:IWD), Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index ETF(ACRA:VYM)는 각각 18.56%와 18.96% 상승했지만 S&amp;P 500보다 저조한 성과를 보였다. 반면 ProShares S&amp;P 500 Ex-Energy ETF(ACRA:SPXE)는 연초 대비 28.85% 성장하여 지수를 초과했다.

방위 섹터
모건스탠리는 지정학적 긴장이 고조되는 가운데 미국의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42369000/booz-allen-and-palantir-partner-to-drive-us-defense-operations">국방</a> 지출은 견고하게 유지될 것으로 예상된다고 본다. 그러나 미국의 나토 참여에 대한 불확실성과 다른 나토 회원국들의 지출 증가로 인해 유럽 방위주들은 미국 주식을 능가하는 성과를 거두었다.
트럼프는 일요일 NBC 뉴스와의 당선 후 첫 방송 인터뷰에서 "그들이 청구서를 지불하고 있고 우리를 공정하게 대우하고 있다고 생각한다면 당연히 나토에 남아있을 것"이라고 말했다.
또한 사이버 보안, AI, 드론 및 기타 분야의 기술 발전으로 인해 전통적인 거대 방위 기업보다 소규모 전문 기업이 선호되고 있다고 모건스탠리는 덧붙였다.
<a href=""https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"">벤징가 프로</a> 데이터에 따르면 S&amp;P 500 항공우주 및 방위 산업 지수는 연초 대비 15.78% 상승한 반면, 같은 기간 록히드 마틴(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), RTX 코퍼레이션(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF(ACRA:ITA)는 각각 12.48%, 38.45% 및 20.15% 상승했다.
기술 및 커뮤니케이션 섹터
모건스탠리에 따르면 기술 부문은 엇갈린 결과를 보일 수 있다. 암호화폐와 AI 산업은 트럼프의 우호적인 입장으로 혜택을 볼 수 있다. 반도체 리쇼어링 법안을 통한 반도체 리쇼어링에 대한 투자는 해당 분야를 강화하여 AI를 국가 안보 우선 순위로 강조할 수도 있다. 그러나 소셜 미디어 및 정보 기업은 계속해서 규제 및 반독점 문제에 직면할 수 있다.
미국 주식 시장의 주요 AI 기업으로는 전년 대비 195.7%의 실적을 기록한 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)가 있으며 같은 기간 동안 마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)는 19.6% 상승했다. 또한 아마존(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), 알파벳(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)은 각각 51.42%와 26.46% 상승했다.
