QVAL
Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETFQVAL Fund Description
The Alpha Architect US Quantitative Value ETF tracks an equal-weighted index of US value stocks, with screens for forensic accounting and earnings quality.
QVAL Factset Analytics Insight
QVAL whittles down the US equity market to a relative handful of stocks that meet its stringent screens. The fund uses a single metric—EV/EBIT—to select the cheapest 10% of its universe, with additional screens for competitive advantage and financial strength, assessed using a number of financial-statement-derived metrics. Additionally, the fund uses a proprietary forensic accounting model to screen out companies that may be attempting to disguise low-quality cash flows. The few dozen holdings that emerge from this process are weighted equally. QVAL launched as an actively managed fund but began tracking a new homegrown index in January 2017, a change which did not significantly alter the fund’s strategy or holdings. Also unchanged is QVAL’s steep fee, which may be hard to justify for an index-tracking fund, and which is an order of magnitude higher than some vanilla competitors. Lukewarm trading further increases round-trip costs for QVAL.
