QVAL: A Low Valuation Fund, But With Above-Average Volatility
The Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF employs a deep value strategy, focusing on fundamentally undervalued U.S. equities, with a concentrated portfolio of 50 holdings. QVAL trades at a significant discount to the Russell 1000 Index, with a forward P/E of 10.8, reflecting a 47.6% discount. Given the macroeconomic uncertainties, QVAL's high volatility makes it less appealing for risk-sensitive investors, despite its attractive valuation and earnings profile.
