CALF: This Struggling Cash Cows ETF Needed A Strategy Change - And It Got One
CALF has been one of the worst-performing small-cap value funds over the last two years. Something had to change, and fortunately, an update to the Index methodology occurred in March. At first glance, the main change was selecting 200 stocks instead of 100, which naturally improved diversification. However, CALF's Index also widened its selection universe from 600 to 2,500 stocks. As a result, CALF functions more like a small/mid-cap ETF compared to dedicated small-cap value peers like IJS, AVUV, SFLO, and USVM.

CALF: Why Investors Stopped Caring About Small Cap Stocks
CALF, an ETF that prioritizes cash flow generating smaller stocks, reflects the malaise that continues to make that market segment unattractive. Barring a near-term bounce, CALF is merely the bad of a bad bunch of small cap ETFs, simply because investors have other places to look. This asset class was historically exciting investors, but that thrill has moved to big AI stocks. While it CALF may outperform in a bear market, that is no consolation.

Why Is The IPO Market Struggling? Here's What Active Managers Have To Say
Strong returns in U.S. stocks, particularly over the past two plus years, have led investors to question the relative lack of companies going public via the IPO process — as well as the potential implications for the IPO market in the long term. According to active equity managers, a combination of increased public market regulation, a reduced pipeline of potential offerings following the prior boom, the rising role of large private asset managers in capital raising, and near-term uncertainty surrounding government policy are all contributing factors. At Russell Investments, we think investors benefit from taking a long-term view.
