DEEPDAcquirers Small and Micro Deep Value ETF

SCHVASchwab U.S. Large-Cap Value ETF

In short

DEEP Most small-cap funds buy the whole haystack. DEEP runs the Acquirer's Multiple, the buyout-firm yardstick of enterprise value to operating earnings, across the smallest 75% of US stocks and keeps about 100 names. Deep value, micro-cap deep, at a boutique price.

SCHV No data

Stated mandate

DEEP Seeks to track the performance of the Acquirers Deep Value Index before fees and expenses. The Fund uses passive indexing and focuses on small- and micro-cap stocks selected for undervaluation, fundamental strength, liquidity, and financial resilience.

SCHV No data

Why people hold it

  • DEEP Ranks on the Acquirer's Multiple (enterprise value to operating earnings), the same yardstick activists and buyout firms use to price targets, then holds about 100 of the cheapest fundamentally strong names.bloomberg.commarketscreener.com
  • Fishes in the smallest 75% of US listed stocks, reaching micro-caps that Russell 2000 trackers like IWM and VTWO largely leave on the shelf.aaii.com
  • Rules-based and passive: the index does the picking and the fund replicates its components, and it has stayed close to that stated mandate.aaii.comusnews.com

SCHV No data

Worth knowing

  • DEEP The 0.80% fee sits well above the 0.25% typical for its small-cap cohort, and plain trackers like VB and SCHA charge 0.03%. Boutique pricing for a niche screen.
  • A small, thinly traded fund holding micro-caps. Spreads can run wider than on the cohort's heavily traded giants, so how you place the order matters more here.
  • Today's small and micro deep-value mandate dates to a 2020 index change. The ticker launched in 2014 running a different, large-cap-focused strategy, so the full record is not apples to apples.prnewswire.com
