Should Invesco S&P MidCap Value with Momentum ETF (XMVM) Be on Your Investing Radar?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Launched on 03/03/2005, the Invesco S&P MidCap Value with Momentum ETF (XMVM - 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 $221.91 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
Compared to large and small cap companies, mid cap businesses tend to have higher growth prospects and are less volatile, respectively, with market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion. Thus, companies that fall under this category provide a stable and growth-heavy investment.
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
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 0.39%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.46%.
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'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 Consumer Discretionary sector--about 22.10% of the portfolio. Financials and Energy round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Pbf Energy Inc (PBF - Free Report) accounts for about 3.63% of total assets, followed by Hf Sinclair Corp (DINO - Free Report) and Avnet Inc (AVT - Free Report) .
The top 10 holdings account for about 23.03% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
XMVM seeks to match the performance of the S&P MIDCAP 400 HIGH MOMENTUM VALUE INDEX before fees and expenses. The S&P MidCap 400 High Momentum Value Index is composed of securities with strong value characteristics selected from the Russell Midcap Index.
The ETF return is roughly 2.37% so far this year and it's up approximately 25.82% in the last one year (as of 05/03/2024). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $40.38 and $54.30.
The ETF has a beta of 1.18 and standard deviation of 22.64% for the trailing three-year period. With about 80 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Invesco S&P MidCap Value with Momentum 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, XMVM 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 Mid-Cap Value ETF (IWS - Free Report) and the Vanguard Mid-Cap Value ETF (VOE - Free Report) track a similar index. While iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF has $12.50 billion in assets, Vanguard Mid-Cap Value ETF has $15.93 billion. IWS has an expense ratio of 0.23% 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.
