2026-03-16 10:40:26 ET
The State Street SPDR S&P 600 Small Cap Value ETF (NYSEMKT:SLYV) and the iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF (NYSEMKT:IWN) both target U.S. small-cap value stocks, but IWN charges a higher fee, holds many more companies, and has outperformed on recent total return.
Both SLYV and IWN aim to capture the value segment of the U.S. small-cap market, but they differ in index construction and depth of coverage. This comparison examines their costs, risks, recent performance, sector tilts, and portfolio makeup to help investors decide which approach may better fit their goals.
