Classified as an equity ETF focused on value investing, the fund seeks to reflect, before fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P 500 Value Index.

The benchmark selects S&P 500 companies with characteristics associated with the value style, using metrics related to valuation, earnings, book value, and corporate fundamentals.
Diversification and sector exposure
IVE provides exposure primarily associated with:
• Financials.
• Healthcare.
• Energy.
• Industrials.
• Consumer staples.
• U.S. large-cap equities.
• Value investing strategies.
• Value-oriented equities.
The ETF’s performance is particularly sensitive to Federal Reserve monetary policy, inflation expectations, and rotations between growth and value equities.

Structure and costs
IVE shares trade on the secondary market on the NYSE Arca during regular trading hours. Share creation and redemption occur through authorized participants, a mechanism intended to help align the ETF’s market price with its net asset value (NAV).
The fund charges a management fee as outlined in its prospectus and does not apply a performance fee. IVE may distribute income derived from dividends paid by companies held within the portfolio.
Because the ETF maintains a focus on U.S. value equities, its performance may exhibit sensitivity to economic cycles, credit conditions, and changes in investor risk perception toward equity markets.
