IJR ETF offers attractive small-cap U.S. stock exposure with strong valuations despite recent outflows.
The iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR) provides diversified exposure to U.S. small-cap stocks, trading near its 200-day moving average at a notable valuation discount compared to large caps. Despite recent outflows, small caps have already adjusted to higher interest rates, making IJR a compelling option even without expected rate cuts. Its forward earnings multiples and growth prospects suggest a balanced outlook, contrasting with the past decade where large caps outperformed. IJR manages around $101.7 billion with a low expense ratio of 0.06%.
