IUS: Confirmed As A Solid Core Equity ETF
Invesco RAFI Strategic US ETF offers a 544-stock portfolio blending fundamental size and quality factors. IUS has a more balanced sector allocation than the S&P 500, underweighting technology and financials while maintaining large-cap predominance. IUS has outperformed both the S&P 500 and peer large value ETFs since 2018, making it a compelling long-term core holding alternative to cap-weighted funds.
IUS: Healthy Returns, Risk Metrics, Secure Its Place On ETF Investors' Short List

Heavy in IT, IUS has strong value and quality characteristics, though its growth and momentum exposures are smaller than IVV's, which is a significant disadvantage.
