WTV offers a compelling active value strategy, outperforming passive peers with a strong 5-year annualized return of 18.5% and low fees. The ETF is highly diversified across 139 holdings, with a sector mix favoring financials, industrials, healthcare, and consumer staples. Current macro trends and expert opinions support value investing for the medium term, but this advantage may not persist long-term.
