Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

ITANBSparkline Intangible Value ETF

WTVAWisdomTree U.S. Value Fund

In short

ITAN Value investing rewritten for an asset-light economy. Patents, brands, talent and networks never show up on a balance sheet, so ITAN scores them with language models and then hunts for the ones priced too cheaply.

WTV Most value funds shop for low price tags. WTV shops for cash coming back to shareholders: dividends plus net buybacks, filtered for quality and profitability. Actively run, priced like an index fund at 0.12%.

Stated mandate

ITAN The Fund pursues long-term capital appreciation.

WTV The fund seeks income and capital appreciation through primarily U.S. equities selected for high total shareholder yield and favorable relative quality characteristics.

Why people hold it

  • ITAN Book value misses patents, brands, talent and networks. Sparkline reads patents, job postings and earnings calls with natural language processing to price what accountants leave out.sparklinecapital.com
  • 0.50% a year, below the median for its US value peer group. Unusual restraint for a boutique shop selling proprietary research.
  • Sits in the upper half of a crowded active US value field, with the portfolio construction its strongest feature.
  • Live since 2021 on a broad US large-cap opportunity set, measured against the Solactive GBS United States 1000. This is mainstream America seen through a different lens, not a micro-cap corner.
  • WTV Charges 0.12% a year, under a quarter of the 0.55% typical for active US value funds, and less than every same-benchmark rival in its group (JAVA 0.44%, CGVV 0.33%, TEQI 0.54%).
  • "Value" here means cash returned: dividend yield plus net buyback yield, with quality and profitability screens, rather than a plain low price-to-book sort.wisdomtree.com
  • About 160 US stocks, a multi-billion-dollar asset base, and a live track record dating to 2007. Distributions land quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • ITAN Fully active, no index to hug. The holdings reflect one firm's model of intangible worth and can look nothing like a classic price-to-book screen.sparklinecapital.com
  • You pay for the research. Systematic value peers like AVLV (0.15%) and WTV (0.12%) charge a fraction for a rules-based version of the same style box.
  • A small, lightly traded boutique fund, so spreads can run wider than the household-name value ETFs.
  • WTV Full equity with no downside cushion, and a value tilt that can lean into a handful of sectors. Risk is the least polished part of the profile.
  • Rules-based active, not an index tracker, so results can diverge from the Russell 1000 Value in either direction.
  • Buybacks supply much of the shareholder yield, and companies can scale repurchases back more easily than they cut dividends.wisdomtree.com
