SPYVAState Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Value ETF

XJRBiShares ESG Select Screened S&P Small-Cap ETF

In short

SPYV The value side of the S&P 500, tracked since 2000 for four basis points. It does one thing: hold the index names that screen cheap, and charge close to nothing for the privilege.

XJR XJR lays a light ESG screen over the S&P SmallCap 600, an index that only admits companies with positive earnings. Tobacco, thermal coal, oil sands and weapons get struck out; the rest of the small-cap field stays.

Stated mandate

SPYV The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the total return of the S&P 500 Value Index.

XJR The fund seeks to track small-capitalization U.S. equities through an index that applies environmental, social, and governance screens for controversies and controversial business activities.

Why people hold it

  • SPYV 0.04% a year. VOOV tracks the identical S&P 500 Value Index and charges 0.07%, so this is the same exposure at a lower fee.
  • Trading since 2000 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund that changes hands actively, so the plumbing is well worn.
  • No stock picking, no factor secret sauce: it aims to match the S&P 500 Value Index before fees, and it is one of the cleaner implementations in its peer group.ssga.com
  • XJR Costs 0.12% a year, roughly a quarter of the median fee among the index-tracking funds it competes with.
  • The parent S&P SmallCap 600 admits only companies with positive earnings in the latest quarter and the trailing four, so unprofitable small caps never make the list.spglobal.com
  • Exclusions are spelled out: controversial weapons, small arms, tobacco, oil sands and shale, thermal coal, fossil fuel reserves. You can check what got left out.ishares.com

Worth knowing

  • SPYV This is one style slice, roughly 400 value-screened names, not the whole S&P 500. It will move differently from the full index.
  • Value goes through long stretches in and out of favor. The fund follows the index rules either way, with no manager stepping in.
  • Distributions land quarterly, not monthly.
  • XJR A smaller fund that trades lightly. Spreads can widen, so limit orders do real work here.
  • The screen removes offenders rather than ranking companies on sustainability. A firm clears by avoiding the listed businesses and serious controversies.ishares.com
  • Small caps swing harder than large caps in both directions, and the earnings rule softens that without erasing it.spglobal.com
