QVAL: Value ETF Lagging Its Peers

The Alpha Architect US Quantitative Value ETF employs a rules-based, value-focused strategy targeting 50 to 200 U.S. stocks with strong valuation and quality metrics. QVAL demonstrates a rare blend of value and growth, with a focus on mid-caps, consumer discretionary, and industrials. Inferior risk-adjusted returns and high turnover make QVAL less compelling than mid-cap value ETF alternatives such as VOE, IMCV and RFV.
