ILCV: Not Among The Top-Performers Among Value Funds
The iShares Morningstar Value ETF (ILCV) offers exposure to U.S. mid- and large-cap value stocks, focusing on defensive sectors like financial services, healthcare, and consumer staples. Despite its conservative stance and valuation discount, ILCV has underperformed the broader market and key peers like MGV and IVE over time. ILCV's low-beta strategy and balanced sector allocation provide stability, but its profitability metrics and earnings growth lag behind the Russell 1000 index.
