IUSV: The Case For Large-Cap/Mid-Cap Value

  • IUSV is a good option due to its defensive nature, offering better protection against short-term macro risks. The ETF provides broad diversification across large- and mid-cap value stocks, with a more attractive valuation than broad-market ETFs. Given slowing economic growth, rising unemployment, and persistent inflation, a defensive value approach is prudent, despite current bullish market sentiment.
