FYI: There are a lot of people looking for signs that value stocks are back in the game, ready to outperform their growth counterpart factors after a decade or so of trailing them.
Last week, when markets seemed to punish some of the year’s leaders, such as growth and momentum strategies, as well as gold and even some Treasury funds, all eyes turned to the underdog, value. Is now the time?
ETF asset flows, while modest, would help corroborate the idea that investors are back to embracing value. Flows are a good indicator of investor sentiment, if a laggard one, and in the past week, some value ETFs did pick up assets while growth ETFs bled.
