SEI Enhanced US Large Cap Value ETF (SEIV) earns a 'buy' rating for its multi-factor approach and strong recent outperformance versus peers. SEIV stands out with a 11.01x forward P/E and 12.26% next-year EPS growth rate, making it an excellent GARP play. Potential weaknesses include an EPS growth acceleration statistic that indicate SEIV's holdings have almost fully recovered from three years ago, when earnings were close to flat.
SEIV: Multi-Factor Active Large-Cap ETF With A 12x P/E Continues To Shine
SEI Enhanced US Large Cap Value Factor ETF offers deep value with a unique overweight in technology and communication services sectors. SEIV trades at a steep discount to the Russell 1000, with a P/E of 11.1, despite significant tech exposure, and maintains balanced market cap allocation. The fund has outperformed value peers over three years, with higher volatility but the best Sharpe ratio in its category, reflecting strong risk-adjusted returns.
SEIV is an actively managed ETF prioritizing the value factor, though quality, momentum, and low volatility are also considered during the optimization process. Heavy in IT, SEIV has a quality and value factor mix that is superior to IVE's, with a higher adjusted EY, lower P/S, and a stronger Return on Total Capital. However, despite beating a few value ETFs, it has underperformed the iShares Russell 1000 ETF and the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF since inception.
