Investment Q&A

Q: Thank you for your answer just now to my question on ILCV and VLUE. Your comments useful, thank you.
A clarification, please. Would I be correct in assuming from your answer that you do not particularly like EITHER one of the ETFs identified? Wanted to confirm just in case my conclusion is mistaken. Many thanks. :ao:sab

Q:
This question is prompted by concern I felt upon seeing portfolio consists almost entirely of growth companies, few dividend payers, and no bond holdings. After reading the notes, articles and opinions of several financial analysts and investment gurus, I gather:
— that “value investing” has not worked for the past decade; and
— that now however is the time for investors to adopt a Value-centric approach.
Do you agree with this sentiment? If yes, does 5i have screens (or links to them) of US-listed companies whose share prices have declined more than fundamentals justify AND whose prospects for share price appreciation look good going forward ?

Additionally, IF, and *ONLY IF*, you believe “value’s time has come” do you have a US-listed value-oriented ETF that you care to recommend? I reviewed these two ETFs: ILCV and VLUE. Do you like either one? If yes, do you prefer one over the other? Or do you have other suggestions? Thanks! :ao: sab
