Should Invesco S&P 500 Pure Value ETF (RPV) Be on Your Investing Radar?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Designed to provide broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market, the Invesco S&P 500 Pure Value ETF (RPV - Free Report) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 03/01/2006.
The fund is sponsored by Invesco. It has amassed assets over $3.28 billion, 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 find themselves in the large cap category typically 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.
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. 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
Since cheaper funds tend to produce better results than more expensive funds, assuming all other factors remain equal, it is important for investors to pay attention to an ETF's expense ratio.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.35%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 2.17%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
ETFs offer a diversified exposure and thus minimize single stock risk but it is still important to delve into a fund's holdings before investing. Most ETFs are very transparent products and many disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Financials sector--about 30.60% of the portfolio. Healthcare and Consumer Staples round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRK/B) accounts for about 2.27% of total assets, followed by Cigna Corp (CI - Free Report) and Prudential Financial Inc (PRU - Free Report) .
The top 10 holdings account for about 17.96% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
RPV seeks to match the performance of the S&P 500 Pure Value Index before fees and expenses. The S&P 500 Pure Value Index measures the performance of securities that exhibit strong value characteristics in the S&P 500 Index.
The ETF has lost about -9.82% so far this year and is down about -1.01% in the last one year (as of 07/15/2022). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $72.23 and $88.24.
The ETF has a beta of 1.21 and standard deviation of 31.79% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 124 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Invesco S&P 500 Pure Value 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, RPV is a sufficient 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 (IWD - Free Report) and the Vanguard Value ETF (VTV - Free Report) track a similar index. While iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF has $50.06 billion in assets, Vanguard Value ETF has $91.96 billion. IWD has an expense ratio of 0.19% and VTV charges 0.04%.
Bottom-Line
An increasingly popular option among retail and institutional investors, passively managed ETFs offer low costs, transparency, flexibility, and tax efficiency; they are also excellent vehicles for long term investors.
