DVAL: Quality Isn't Enough To Be The Best Value ETF
DVAL is an actively managed large-cap value ETF with a 0.49% expense ratio and an excellent long-term track record outperforming the Russell 1000 Value Index. The fund's management team is experienced and has managed DVAL and its predecessor private fund since 2007. They strive to select high-quality stocks with attractive valuations and positive sentiment features. However, my fundamental analysis reveals weaknesses in sentiment and some red flags on growth and momentum. In particular, DVAL no longer offers a competitive sales and earnings growth rate.
