The ETF.net AELV Grade
Not yet graded
The fund does not yet have enough measurable history for a letter. Young funds age in naturally as their record builds; nothing is wrong.
Our read on AELV
Harbor's value ETF doesn't just buy cheap. Its in-house index scores US large caps on valuation, quality, momentum and risk, then holds roughly 80 names. A concentrated take on value, and a young one, launched in 2024.
The Fund passively tracks the Harbor AlphaEdge Large Cap Value Index before fees and expenses. The index selects U.S.-listed equities using proprietary valuation, fundamental, price, and risk-management criteria.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.25% a year, under the typical fee in its multifactor peer group and level with Schwab's FNDX for a comparable fundamental tilt.
- Value with guardrails. The index layers quality, momentum and risk-management screens on top of valuation, so it isn't just scooping up whatever screens statistically cheap.
- Roughly 80 US large caps, so each holding carries real weight instead of getting diluted inside a several-hundred-stock value index.
- Rules first: it passively tracks a published Harbor index, so the stock-picking recipe is set in advance rather than left to a manager's mood.
Worth knowing
- Small fund, thin trading. Spreads run wider than the household-name value ETFs, which makes limit orders and patient fills matter more.
- Launched in 2024, so the model has no long record across a full market cycle yet.
- Plain value costs less. Vanguard's VONV gives broad Russell 1000 value exposure for a fraction of this fee, without the extra screens.
