Built by QuantCommons' quantitative engine, this page is about relative opportunity, not data on IWD alone. It places IWD (iShares Russell 1000 Value ETF) against 20+ popular alternatives, its neighboring categories and the entire market of over 10,000 U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, and surfaces what has done better on consistent outperformance, return for the risk taken, behavior in real market crashes and diversification. The result is a clearer view of where IWD stands in the market, and of the alternatives worth a closer look.

Period covered: IWD's full trading record, from May 2000 through September 2026. The crash tests reach back to 2000 using older funds and the S&P 500. All returns include reinvested dividends. Data as of October 20, 2026.

## Key findings

- **What you're buying:** IWD charges 0.18% a year; VTV (Vanguard Morningstar Value ETF) tracks the same thing for 0.03%. A correlation of 0.98 with VTV over 5 years: effectively the same bet as the larger fund.
- **Right now:** Its return over the past 6 months is ahead of 94% of the ETFs with at least $100 million in assets with that much history, rose 14.2% against 9.1% for the S&P 500 and 11.2% for the Nasdaq 100. Its similar funds were far apart over the past 6 months, from VLUE (iShares MSCI USA Value Factor ETF, up 23.6%) to IVE (iShares S&P 500 Value ETF, up 8.1%).
- **Fund or market?:** IWD rose 4.7% over the past 3 months, in line with the US large-cap value ETF VTV (Vanguard Morningstar Value ETF), which rose 4.0%. The S&P 500 rose 3.9%.
- **Long term:** Over the past decade, IWD returned 11.8% a year against 15.5% a year for the S&P 500 (205% in total against 321%).
- **In a crash:** The 2022 bear market took 19.0% off IWD, against 24.5% for the S&P 500. That was more than VTV (Vanguard Morningstar Value ETF, 17.0%) but less than DFAU (Dimensional - US Core Equity Market ETF, 23.6%).
- **Diversification:** Against the S&P 500, IWD has a correlation of 0.88 over 5 years, more closely than 79% of ETFs with at least $100 million in assets. Next to an index fund it is more of the same, not a cushion. IWD fell in 19 of the 22 months the S&P 500 fell over the past 5 years: it usually fell with it.
- **Better options**
  - **Nearby categories and themes:** HDV (iShares Core High Dividend ETF, US dividend equity) earned more than IWD with less volatility over the past 5 years: 12.9% a year at 13.0% volatility, against 11.4% a year at 14.7%.
  - **Whole market:** Few investments have done better on both counts: only ten of the 3,633 stocks and funds worth at least $500 million earned more than IWD with less volatility over the past 5 years, among them HDV (iShares Core High Dividend ETF), MGV (Vanguard Morningstar Mega Cap Value ETF) and DBEF (Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF).

## How much would $10,000 in IWD have grown?

This chart tracks a hypothetical $10,000 investment in IWD over the past 22 years, with dividends reinvested, alongside the same amount in the S&P 500, investments that ended ahead of IWD over the same span and IWD's popular alternatives, among those that traded for the entire period.

- $10,000 invested in IWD at the end of September 2004 would have grown to $67,229 by September 2026, less than the $102,174 it would have become in SPY, an S&P 500 fund.
- Five of the seven other investments on the chart ended ahead of IWD, and TD finished highest, at $150,409.

### Is IWD more volatile than the S&P 500?

No. IWD's volatility over the past 5 years was 14.7%, 86% of the S&P 500's 17.1%. Volatility measures how widely returns swing around their average: in roughly two years out of three, IWD's return lands within 14.7% of its average, either way. The higher it is, the rougher the ride and the harder it is to hold through a slump.

The Sharpe ratio is the return earned above cash for each unit of volatility: two investments with the same return are not equal if one got there with far bigger swings.
