Should Invesco Dynamic Large Cap Value ETF (PWV) Be on Your Investing Radar?
Designed to provide broad exposure to the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market, the Invesco Dynamic Large Cap Value ETF (PWV) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 03/03/2005.
The fund is sponsored by Invesco. It has amassed assets over $776.49 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Large Cap Value segment of the US equity market.
Why Large Cap Value
Companies that fall in the large cap category tend to have a market capitalization above $10 billion. Considered a more stable option, large cap companies boast more predictable cash flows and are less volatile than their mid and small cap counterparts.
Carrying lower than average price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, value stocks also have lower than average sales and earnings growth rates. While value stocks have outperformed growth stocks in nearly all markets when you consider long-term performance, growth stocks are more likely to outpace value stocks in strong bull markets.
Costs
Cost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts if all other fundamentals are the same.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.58%, making it one of the more expensive products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 2.04%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
Even though ETFs offer diversified exposure that minimizes single stock risk, investors should also look at the actual holdings inside the fund. Luckily, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Financials sector--about 24.60% of the portfolio. Healthcare and Consumer Staples round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM) accounts for about 3.67% of total assets, followed by Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Walmart Inc (WMT).
The top 10 holdings account for about 34.23% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
PWV seeks to match the performance of the Dynamic Large Cap Value Intellidex Index before fees and expenses. The Dynamic Large Cap Value Intellidex Index is designed to provide capital appreciation while maintaining consistent stylistically accurate exposure.
The ETF has lost about -5.75% so far this year and was up about 4% in the last one year (as of 05/19/2022). In the past 52-week period, it has traded between $42.97 and $50.64.
The ETF has a beta of 0.90 and standard deviation of 23.84% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 52 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
Alternatives
Invesco Dynamic Large Cap Value ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 (Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors.
