5 Value ETFs to Buy Now for Outperformance
Value investing has been in vogue this year, given that Wall Street is struggling to find a solid footing. This is especially true as value stocks provide investors some shelter to investors from deep losses.
As such, value ETFs pulled in $37.6 billion in the first four months of the year, following $60.3 billion net inflows during 2021, according to data from State Street. On the other hand, growth ETFs saw net outflows of $2 billion in the first four months of 2022, partially reversing the positive inflows of $38.2 billion over the whole of last year (read: 5 ETFs to Protect Your Portfolio Amid Market Sell-Off).
While there are many options available in this space, investors could tap the trends with ETFs having a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or #2 (Buy). iShares Core S&P U.S. Value ETF, Vanguard Value ETF, SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Value ETF, Vanguard Mega Cap Value ETF and iShares Edge MSCI USA Value Factor ETF look like compelling choices.
Value stocks have strong fundamentals — earnings, dividends, book value and cash flow —and trade below their intrinsic value. These seek to capitalize on the inefficiencies in the market and have the potential to deliver higher returns with lower volatility compared with their growth and blend counterparts. Value stocks are less susceptible to trending markets and their dividend payouts offer safety in times of market turbulence.
Below we discuss some strong reasons for investing in value ETFs.
Market uncertainty led by skyrocketing inflation, Fed's aggressive rate hikes and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have raised the appeal for value investing (read: Best ETFs for High Inflation and Rising Rates).
Growth stocks have become too expensive after a 10-year super cycle, compelling investors to dump them as the era of low interest rates ended. The Federal Reserve has started raising interest rates more aggressively to fight inflation. Fed Chair Jerome Powell has raised interest rates by 50 bps in the latest FOMC meeting and signaled that it would keep hiking at the same pace over the next couple of meetings. This marks the biggest interest-rate hike since 2000.
Higher yields indicate optimism in the economy backed by increased consumer confidence, rising wages and higher spending. This combination of factors will result in increased industrial activity and a pickup in consumer demand, thereby lifting value stocks. Additionally, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war has led to supply disruption fears in an already-tight commodity market, thereby resulting in amplified inflation worries.
Moreover, the data shows that the value index outperformed the growth index during rising inflation and rates. Value stocks are seeing a fortune reversal with central banks tightening policies to contain inflation after 10-years of underperformance.
