Looking for broad exposure to the Small Cap Value segment of the US equity market? You should consider the iShares S&P Small-Cap 600 Value ETF (IJS), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on July 24, 2000.
The iShares S&P Small-Cap 600 Value ETF has had a strong start to 2026, benefiting from cheap valuations and a focus on the energy-exporting U.S. economy. IJS holdings trade at only 16.5x their trailing earnings, a circa 40% discount to the S&P 500. While the ETF's smaller allocation to the information technology sector likely entails fewer benefits from AI growth, its long-term earnings growth should benefit from retained earnings and U.S. GDP growth.

IJS offers diversified exposure to undervalued U.S. small-cap stocks, managing approximately $7 billion with a 0.18% expense ratio.

IJS provides broad exposure to value stocks inside the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. Its expense ratio is 0.18% and the ETF has $7.4B in assets under management. I've rated IJS a "sell" primarily due to its relatively poor quality, particularly on its capital efficiency ratios like ROTC. This article suggests AVUV as the superior choice. AVUV's active approach allows its managers to improve the overall factor mix while maintaining adequate value factor exposure. On a TTM basis, AVUV is even slightly more attractive than IJS.
