FYI: Just call 2016 the Year of the Turnaround.
Gold and precious metals have come roaring back. Energy is the best-performing sector. And value stocks appear poised — remarkably — to end a long drought.
Many ETF investors all but gave up on the value style after 10 lackluster years culminated in a punishing 2015. Then the new year happened. And it brought a resurgence of love for beaten-down value stocks.
“Value has started to gain attention again” from both a performance and flow perspective, said Dave Mazza, head of research for SPDR ETFs.
