Smart Beta SCV Charts

Charts show the impact of investing in my Smart Beta, Small Cap Value ETFs since inception.

Ten-Year Smart Beta Small-Cap Value Charts

Caveat: The exceptional performance of the 4 SBSCV ETFs (EES, PRFZ, EZM, and RWJ) in these charts includes the recovery from the worst bear market since 1929. Here's what is most important about the charts: They show the continuing superior performance of EES, PRFZ, EZM, and RWJ vs appropriate Small-cap Value ETFs (IJS, VBR, IWN) and SPY, the S&P 500 de facto benchmark.
