Description: VLU SPDR S&P 1500 Value Tilt October 24, 2025
The SPDR® S&P 1500 Value Tilt ETF (VLU) uses a sampling approach to replicate its benchmark, investing at least 80 % of assets in the index constituents. Its underlying index re-weights the S&P Composite 1500 so that stocks with lower price-to-earnings, price-to-book, and dividend-yield ratios receive higher weights, while relatively expensive stocks are under-weighted, delivering a systematic “value tilt.”
Key metrics as of the latest filing: expense ratio ≈ 0.15 %, assets under management ≈ $1.2 bn, and top sector exposures to Financials (≈ 30 %) and Consumer Staples (≈ 20 %), both historically sensitive to interest-rate cycles. The fund’s valuation bias tends to outperform when earnings multiples compress, a condition often triggered by rising real yields or a slowdown in growth expectations. Recent quarterly data show the ETF’s average forward P/E around 12× versus the broader market’s 18×, indicating a measurable cheapness premium.
