value etf's
Posted: November 27th, 2016, 7:55 pm
I've recently been changing my core holdings from global it's to global etf's.
My portfolio is heavily weighted towards growth stocks and I wanted to diversify with a value based global etf or IT.
I've been looking at both the vanguard world value and I shares world value.
Does anyone have any views on these types of etf? I'm investing for purely growth (20 years plus) so accumulation shares would point towards the ishares etf but from their literature it appears that they apply sector weighting limits. I'm not sure if this should be viewed as a good or bad thing?
Or is this an area where a fund manager could add value to avoid traps?
Thoughts/views welcome
