iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF

IWD

Market cap $64.5B

iShares Core S&P U.S. Value ETF is rated a buy for its blend of value and growth exposure, especially in the current market cycle. IUSV's higher tech allocation, lower expense ratio, and strong risk-adjusted returns position it to outperform the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF for now. IWD is more defensive and diversified, making it a hold; it may become more attractive if market leadership shifts from growth to value sectors.

Launched on May 22, 2000, the iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF (IWD) is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to provide a broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.

Pessimistic market sentiment often creates generational buying opportunities. Legendary investors like Warren Buffett have made fortunes by being greedy when others are fearful. Unfortunately, while the data points provide a ground for being fearful, the market is still greedy. We could make a case for experiencing 'the everything bubble'.

Goldman Sachs warns of rising AI bubble risks, making diversification with equal-weight, value and quality ETFs a smart defensive move.

IWD offers diversified large- and mid-cap value exposure, making it attractive amid current central bank policy risks and crowded long positioning. The fund's sector allocation leans heavily toward financials, with limited tech exposure, resulting in more attractive valuations than broad-market ETFs. Short-term risks include historical September weakness, crowded long positions, and potential market volatility from upcoming economic data and Fed policy.

Amid AI bubble worries and tech sell-offs, investors turn to value, consumer staples, gold and international ETFs for diversification.

Value ETFs witness a surge as tech falters, with SPVU, RPV, RZV, RFV and GVLU gaining on rate cut bets and rotation into defensive sectors.
