This month's market rotation into small caps is being led by a rebound in cheap stocks. A rally in small caps can sometimes be a sign of speculative fervor, but an analysis of the top-performing nonleveraged small-cap funds show that it is the value factor finding a bid. According to FactSet, three of the top five small-cap exchange-traded funds in July are explicitly focused on value, including the iShares US Small Cap Value Factor ETF . That fund was up 11.
Investors can account for profitability by looking for stocks with lower price-to-earnings ratios, one of the metrics captured by many value funds. As of June 30, the broader IWM had a 14.4 P/E ratio, compared to about 11 for the value-tilted IWN, according to iShares.
