What is VLU?

The SPDR S&P 1500 Value Tilt ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of an index that tracks the performance of U.S. equity securities exhibiting value characteristics. The S&P 1500 Low Valuation Tilt Index applies an alternative weighting methodology to the S&P Composite 1500 Index so that stocks with relatively low valuations (i.e., relatively "cheap") are overweight relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Index and stocks with relatively high valuations (i.e., relatively "rich") are underweight.

What is ETF correlation?

Correlation is a measure of the strength of the relationship between two ETFs. It quantifies the degree to which prices of the two ETFs typically move together.

Here, correlation is measured over the past year with the Pearson correlation coefficient (Pearon’s r), which ranges from -1 to 1.

  • •Create an investing strategy that hedges an ETF with an uncorrelated or inversely correlated ETF.
