GSSC is benchmarked against the Russell 2000 Index and aims to provide more exposure to the value, momentum, quality, and low volatility factors. Its expense ratio is low at 0.20%. My fundamental analysis confirmed these factor exposures, but GSSC and IWM also overlap by 70%, meaning that in most cases, the advantage is relatively small. As an alternative, PSC stands out because it beats GSSC on nearly all key factors, and even though it has about 40% of the holdings, its diversification is still broad.

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.
