QVALAAlpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF

In short

AVLV No data

QVAL Deep value with no hedging: about 50 US stocks chosen by a rules-based quality-and-value screen, run by a boutique quant shop since 2014, at roughly half the fee of the typical active value fund.

Stated mandate

AVLV No data

QVAL The fund aims to grow investors' capital over the long term.

Why people hold it

AVLV No data

  • QVAL 0.28% a year against a 0.55% median for active US value funds. Cheap for a specialist quant strategy.
  • About 50 names, screened on cheapness and quality together. A real bet, not a closet index in value clothing.
  • Live since 2014, so the record spans value's long drought and its recoveries rather than a backtest.
  • Top quartile of its US value peer group in our review, and it undercuts ITAN, the other fund drawn from the same Solactive US 1000 universe, on fee.

Worth knowing

AVLV No data

  • QVAL Thinly traded next to the category's giants, so spreads can widen and limit orders matter more than with a mega-fund.
  • Concentration cuts both ways. Roughly 50 deep-value names can drift far from the broad market, in either direction, for long stretches.
  • The stated goal is long-term capital growth, with distributions paid quarterly rather than monthly.
