Home/News Feed/iShares S&P Small-Cap 600 Value ETF offers diversification but lags peers on returns and fees. The iShares S&P Small-Cap 600 Value ETF (IJS) provides structural diversification and lower valuations, appealing for long-term investors. However, it underperforms competitors like AVUV, RWJ, and CALF in recent total and risk-adjusted returns, partly due to its fee structure. VIOV, tracking the same index as IJS but with lower fees, is preferred for long-term exposure, while IJS suits tactical liquidity needs. Despite a supportive macro environment for small value stocks, IJS's performance and costs limit its attractiveness compared to rivals.
