BAMV: Fundamentals Not Competitive With Low Cost Large-Cap Value Peers

BAMV is an actively managed fund comprised of 30 U.S. stocks chosen based on market cap, reputation, value, growth, relevance to investors, and third-party financial ratings. I compared BAMV to four active and passive large-cap value ETF peers to see if they offered a similarly attractive factor mix to save on BAMV's 0.95% expense ratio. Surprisingly, I found BAMV's peers were just as strong on the value factor while offering better sales growth, earnings growth, and quality metrics, even after adjusting for sector composition differences.
