SEIV is an actively managed ETF prioritizing the value factor, though quality, momentum, and low volatility are also considered during the optimization process. Heavy in IT, SEIV has a quality and value factor mix that is superior to IVE's, with a higher adjusted EY, lower P/S, and a stronger Return on Total Capital. However, despite beating a few value ETFs, it has underperformed the iShares Russell 1000 ETF and the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF since inception.

SPGP blends growth with attractive valuations, offering a mid-cap and sector-diversified alternative to mega-cap heavy growth funds. The fund trades at a significant discount to peers, with strong historical and forecast EPS growth but slightly lower profitability metrics compared to the S&P 500. SPGP has lagged peers and the S&P 500 in bull markets but shows better downside resilience and lower volatility than most growth ETFs.
FFC offers leveraged exposure to preferred equities, mainly financials, amplifying both upside and downside moves compared to vanilla ETFs like PFF. The fund is still undervalued relative to NAV, but discount volatility increases during risk-off events, creating tactical trading opportunities. Preferred equity prices are high and credit markets are ebullient, making the 6.8% distribution less attractive versus risk; we see more downside than upside near-term.
GSL remains an attractive buy, supported by strong Q1 results, a robust contract backlog, and continued fleet optimization. The company boasts a rock-solid financial position, low leverage, and a rising dividend yield near 7.8%, with further increases likely. Risks include potential share dilution and sector-specific headwinds, but long-term contracts and conservative management mitigate major threats.
