Should Invesco S&P MidCap 400 Revenue ETF (RWK) Be on Your Investing Radar?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Launched on 02/22/2008, the Invesco S&P MidCap 400 Revenue ETF (RWK - Free Report) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Mid Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
The fund is sponsored by Invesco. It has amassed assets over $411.10 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Mid Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
Why Mid Cap Value
Mid cap companies, with market capitalization in the range of $2 billion and $10 billion, offer investors many things that small and large companies don't, including less risk and higher growth opportunities. These types of companies, then, have a good balance of stability and growth potential.
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. While value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in nearly all markets when you consider long-term performance, growth stocks are more likely to outpace value stocks in strong bull markets.
Costs
When considering an ETF's total return, expense ratios are an important factor, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts in the long term if all other factors remain equal.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.39%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 0.71%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
While ETFs offer diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk, a deep look into a fund's holdings is a valuable exercise. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Industrials sector--about 21.10% of the portfolio. Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Arrow Electronics Inc (ARW - Free Report) accounts for about 2.22% of total assets, followed by Jabil Inc (JBL - Free Report) and Synnex Corp (SNX - Free Report) .
The top 10 holdings account for about 16.04% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
RWK seeks to match the performance of the OFI Revenue Weighted Mid Cap Index before fees and expenses. The OFI Revenue Weighted Mid Cap Index is constructed by re-weighting the constituent securities of the S&P MidCap 400 Index according to the revenue earned by the companies in the S&P MidCap 400 Index.
The ETF return is roughly 27.87% so far this year and was up about 78.37% in the last one year (as of 06/25/2021). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $49.25 and $92.98.
The ETF has a beta of 1.45 and standard deviation of 29.82% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 401 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Invesco S&P MidCap 400 Revenue 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, RWK is a good option for those seeking exposure to the Style Box - Mid Cap Value area of the market. Investors might also want to consider some other ETF options in the space.
The iShares Russell MidCap Value ETF (IWS - Free Report) and the Vanguard MidCap Value ETF (VOE - Free Report) track a similar index. While iShares Russell MidCap Value ETF has $14.20 billion in assets, Vanguard MidCap Value ETF has $14.26 billion. IWS has an expense ratio of 0.24% and VOE charges 0.07%.
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.
