Fund Details
Investment Thesis
IWS is the broadest way to own the mid-cap value cohort — 700 names versus VOE's 190 — which dilutes single-stock risk and captures more of the segment's long-run premium. A +25% trailing year shows what happens when the market broadens beyond mega-cap tech. Russell's annual reconstitution keeps the value discipline honest, migrating stocks out as they get expensive.
Who It's For
Investors who want deep, diversified mid-cap value exposure and prefer Russell's benchmark (the one most active managers are judged against). The institutional-standard building block for the style box.
