Thesis<\/h2>\n

The SPDR\u00ae Portfolio S&P 500 Value ETF<\/strong> (NYSEARCA:SPYV<\/span>) is a passively managed value-oriented fund that selects from the S&P 500 Index (SP500). While it seems to be the only one that does this with that particular index, its long-term performance has been underwhelming when compared to other options.<\/span><\/p>\n

There might be a case to be made about using it in specific market periods, but long-term investors are better off looking elsewhere. SPYV may not be a compelling choice. In this article, I will mention some alternatives that you might be interested in.<\/p>\n

What does SPYV do?<\/h2>\n

SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Value ETF was issued by State Street Global Advisors, Inc. on September 25, 2000, and is managed by SSGA Funds Management, Inc. It currently has $14.63 billion under management.<\/p>\n

Using a representative sampling technique, its goal is to replicate the performance of the S&P 500 Value Index, which provides exposure to S&P 500 value stocks. Such securities are characterized by a low price relative to book value, earnings, and revenue when compared to other securities within the index.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, the fund’s top holdings are Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), Meta Platforms, Inc. (META), and Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), in which it has allocated 6.43%, 3.75%, and 3.66% of its total assets, respectively.<\/p>\n

It goes without saying, I guess, but this SPYV fund is appropriate for those times when the market is unreasonably optimistic. Such exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) could offer some protection against high valuations in those instances. However, I was interested to see if SPYV has something to offer for a buy\/hold investor like me. That’s why what follows will be strictly for investors looking to get exposure to the U.S. equity market in a more efficient way.<\/p>\n

Performance<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

Since it was issued, SPYV has delivered an annual compound return of 6.88% based on its price performance. Its benchmark has realized a 7.41% growth rate, instead. Such tracking error is not surprising considering the time frame here, which is more than two decades of performance.<\/p>\n

However, it might not appear that significant if you look at the total returns:<\/p>\n

What I was more interested in finding out was how it performed against the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY). The idea is that if I want exposure to the market, why should I pick SPYV over SPY? Is there any additional value here?<\/p>\n

Evidently, SPYV has underperformed SPY since its inception date. And this underperformance is much more pronounced in the last decade:<\/p>\n

However, it outperformed during its first 10 years, delivering a total return of 10.23% when SPY seems to have fallen by 5.17%:<\/p>\n

Therefore, only looking at returns, it’s uncertain if long-term ownership of SPYV will be beneficial in the long run. Personally, I wouldn’t select it over SPY. Besides, when it comes to its risk profile, nothing stands out:<\/p>\n
