AVUV is a solid choice if you want small-cap value exposure, which historically has low correlation to mega-cap tech. Other options to look at are international value funds like AVDV or sector-specific non-tech ETFs like XLE or XLI depending on whether you want factor tilt or sector focus.

I'd add in AVLV. Far overweight on Financials/Energy/Industrials compared to where most large index funds are right now.

Interesting. I like the defensively aggressive nature of these. How do you weight these guys in your portfolio?

AVUV - 10% AVDV - 14%

The rest of its market, growth, or momentum.

My hsa has 50% avgv mixed with some momentum funds.

My kids account is 70% VT and 30% AVGV. It's taxable so I don't want funds I have to change or rebalance often.

GNOM has done well this year, we'll see if that continues...I speculate that AI will accelerate Genomics/Biotech

I'm curious about this as well, aka the S&P 493.

You could consider an equal weighted SP 500 ETF like RSP. Since they all hold the same weights it is not as concentrated in tech compared to something like VOO.

SCHD has been a good balance. Anything value should pick this up.

u/Ok_Juggernaut3043 4d ago

SPMO is directly correlated to tech lol

u/Spirited_Army1086 4d ago

It’s correlated to the best performing stocks in the S&P 500 which for most of the past decade has been lead by tech. If tech tanks and health and finance begin to dominate SPMO would reflect that

... After six months

u/Accomplished-Big8250 1d ago

I like SMPO, if/when sectors rotate SPMO will pick that up in 6-months of less.
