How to invest in value-factor ETFs

How do I invest in the value factor?

Statistical observations show that companies with relatively low valuations have tended to outperform the broad market in certain economic periods in the past. This research-based observation is referred to as the value factor. Typically, the price-earnings ratio is used as a measure for a company's value. This usually means comparing the current share price with the profit of the last period. More advanced approaches use additional variables such as price-to-book value and enterprise value-to-cash flow from operations.

This factor strategy can also be implemented by means of an index. In this investment guide, you will find all available worldwide value ETFs. Currently, there are 13 ETFs available.
 

When choosing a value-factor ETF one should consider several other factors in addition to the methodology of the underlying index and performance of an ETF. For better comparison, you will find a list of all value-factor ETFs with details on size, cost, age, income, domicile and replication method ranked by fund size.
