TILT is a well-diversified all-cap ETF that underweights mega-cap growth stocks and distributes the weight among hundreds of small-cap value stocks, particularly in the Financials sector. Unfortunately, the timing wasn't right for TILT. Since its launch, it's trailed low-cost peers by 50-70% due to the success of technology stocks, which TILT underweights. I'm not too concerned with past performance, since it's easy to explain and won't necessarily repeat. However, tilting toward small-cap value stocks has consequences, particularly lower quality.
