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.

AVUV trades at USD 124.50 on Pluang as of Oct 30, 2026 13:11 WIB, showing a 1.51% gain in one day. The ETF holds a market cap of $32.10 billion and sees strong buying interest with 87% of orders as buys. This data highlights AVUV's active presence compared to its peers in the small value ETF space.
