VTWO is a low-cost Russell 2000 Index ETF with a 0.10% expense ratio and nearly $8 billion in assets. Unfortunately, it's also low-quality, and its valuation ratios are misleading. P/E ratios for ETFs exclude non-profitable stocks, and they make up 25% of VTWO. Adding them back in results in a weighted average P/E that exceeds Russell 1000 Index ETFs. Less popular ETFs like XSVM and CALF are gaining traction. These funds emphasize two or more factors (value, quality, and momentum). They've outperformed VTWO by 3% per year since 2017.
