EPS: Earnings-Focused Smart Beta Vehicle That Underdelivers
I maintain a Hold rating on the WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Fund ETF. EPS tracks the index that puts emphasis on earnings instead of market cap, securing slightly better valuation characteristics. With a value tilt, EPS has been quite slow in capturing the market's upside, which resulted in it underperforming IVV this year, over the last five years, and since inception.
EPS: Value ETF With An Aftertaste Of Growth
WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Fund ETF holds about 500 large caps weighted on earnings. Compared to SPY, the EPS ETF has lower weight in technology, better value, higher dividend growth, and lower historical return. EPS has outperformed major large cap value ETFs for more than a decade.
