ILCVAiShares Morningstar Value ETF

USVMBVictoryShares US Small Mid Cap Value Momentum ETF

In short

ILCV Value done the thorough way: roughly 400 large- and mid-cap US stocks screened on five separate value measures, not just cheap book value. Running since 2004 at four basis points, it's one of the cheapest tickets into the value factor.

USVM Two screens that rarely ride together, cheap and climbing, pointed at the small and mid-cap end of the US market. Roughly 300 stocks, rules-based, and priced under the typical multifactor fund.

Stated mandate

ILCV The fund seeks to track an index of U.S. large- and mid-cap stocks selected with value-oriented measures including forward earnings, book value, sales, cash flow, and dividend yield.

USVM The Fund seeks to track the returns of the Nasdaq Victory US Small Mid Cap Value Momentum Index before fees and expenses, primarily by holding the Index's stocks through a replication strategy.

Why people hold it

  • ILCV Charges 0.04% a year against a 0.32% median for its factor peer group. Undercuts well-regarded rivals like VONV (0.06%) and FNDX (0.25%).
  • Value gets defined five ways: forward earnings, book value, sales, cash flow and dividend yield. Wider lens than a single price-to-book screen.ishares.com
  • Spreads the bet across about 400 large- and mid-cap names and distributes quarterly.
  • Trading since 2004 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it ranks among the strongest implementations in its factor cohort.
  • USVM Screens on value and momentum together instead of picking one lane, tracking a single Nasdaq-built index by replication rather than a manager's hunches.
  • Costs 0.29% a year, below the median for its multifactor peer group.
  • Works the small and mid-cap aisle while most highly graded funds in the cohort (VONV, VYM, FNDX, GVUS, IUSG) crowd into large caps.
  • Spreads the bet across about 300 names and pays distributions monthly.

Worth knowing

  • ILCV One of the quieter tickers in its category. Thin volume means spreads matter more here than on a mega-cap index fund, and limit orders are the usual tool.
  • Value-only by design. It skips the market's priciest growth leaders, so it moves differently from a total-market fund in both directions.ishares.com
  • Large and mid caps only. Small-cap value sits outside the mandate.
  • USVM Trades thinly for a fund of its size, so spreads can be wider than the multi-billion-dollar asset base suggests.
  • Small and mid caps swing harder than large caps, and a value-plus-momentum tilt can wander well away from the broad market for long stretches.
  • Cheap for a factor strategy, but plain-vanilla peers like VYM (0.04%) and IUSG (0.04%) cost a fraction as much.
