SPVM: Soft Past Performance, Unappealing Factor Mix, Hold At Best
Invesco S&P 500 Value with Momentum ETF is a passively managed vehicle offering exposure to 100 names selected using value and momentum screens. Despite an appealing premise, SPVM has trailed IVV by more than 65% since the strategy change in 2019. It has underperformed peers like XMVM and XSVM as well. I find the factor story of the SPVM portfolio unappealing, as its impressive exposure to value comes with lackluster growth metrics, questionable quality, and low beta that I dislike.
SPVM Could Keep Outperforming
Invesco S&P 500 Value with Momentum ETF has recently outperformed, due to rotation from growth to value and defensive sectors. SPVM's methodology emphasizes value first, then momentum, resulting in heavy exposure to financials as well as defensive sectors. SPVM is tactically positioned for current stagflation risks, with minimal tech exposure and high allocation to sectors benefiting from recent macro trends.
SPVM: Disappointing Combination Of Value And Momentum
Invesco S&P 500 Value with Momentum ETF has a portfolio of 100 stocks and started its current strategy in June 2019. SPVM has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, the S&P 500 Value Index and other "value and momentum" ETFs. I give SPVM a Sell rating due to underperformance and risks related to concentration in financials.
