Invesco S&P 500 Value with Momentum ETF

SPVM

Market cap $119M

The $85 billion listing last month of SpaceX, Elon Musk's aerospace, satellite communications and artificial intelligence company, was an important market event. The company's dual-class share structure, conferring disproportionate voting power on its founder, could be expected to serve as a template for the next wave of high-profile IPOs, with OpenAI and Anthropic expected to follow suit in the coming quarters.

Invesco S&P 500 Value with Momentum ETF is a passively managed vehicle offering exposure to 100 names selected using value and momentum screens. Despite an appealing premise, SPVM has trailed IVV by more than 65% since the strategy change in 2019. It has underperformed peers like XMVM and XSVM as well. I find the factor story of the SPVM portfolio unappealing, as its impressive exposure to value comes with lackluster growth metrics, questionable quality, and low beta that I dislike.

Invesco S&P 500 Value with Momentum ETF has recently outperformed, due to rotation from growth to value and defensive sectors. SPVM's methodology emphasizes value first, then momentum, resulting in heavy exposure to financials as well as defensive sectors. SPVM is tactically positioned for current stagflation risks, with minimal tech exposure and high allocation to sectors benefiting from recent macro trends.

Invesco S&P 500 Value with Momentum ETF has a portfolio of 100 stocks and started its current strategy in June 2019. SPVM has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, the S&P 500 Value Index and other "value and momentum" ETFs. I give SPVM a Sell rating due to underperformance and risks related to concentration in financials.

For investors seeking momentum, Invesco S&P 500 Value with Momentum ETF SPVM is probably on the radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and moved up 23% from its 52-week low price of $44.46 per share.

The Federal Reserve kept rates steady and maintained a hawkish stance toward inflation while acknowledging an outstanding economy and progress in vanquishing inflationary pressure. Expectations for rate cuts in March were dampened by a change in statement language and Powell's comments in the press conference.

The U.S. market is in great shape as 2023 comes to a close, thanks mainly to a less-hawkish Fed, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom and dissipating global growth worries. This is how you can navigate the record high market.
