Barring a reversal of epic proportions in the final three and a half months of 2026, value stocks and the related ETFs will likely again lag their growth counterparts when this year draws to a close. That doesn't mean value investing is dead.
WisdomTree US Value Fund (WTV) is a 5-star ETF focusing on shareholder yield, blending quality, momentum, and value factors. WTV offers a 2.16% SEC yield and a 6.5% shareholder yield, with double-digit long-term dividend growth and a robust dividend growth profile. The ETF's methodology screens for high-quality, high-momentum, high-shareholder-yield stocks, resulting in a diversified portfolio with sector and stock concentration advantages.
WisdomTree U.S. Value Fund has outperformed IWD since adopting a shareholder yield focus in 2017 but exhibits higher volatility and drawdowns. WTV's strategy blends quality and shareholder yield, emphasizing buybacks and dividends, but its quality metrics lag IWD and DIVB, making it 'quality-aware' rather than 'quality-focused.' With a 5.86% shareholder yield, 14.64x forward P/E, and 13.63% next-year EPS growth, WTV offers strong GARP characteristics plus solid sector diversification.
