Style Box ETF Performance: Growth Recovers Against Value Investing
Updated May 25, 2025
Large-cap growth strategies, particularly those tracking iShares style-box ETFs, dominated market returns in 2023 and 2024. However, value investing demonstrated greater relative strength in 2023 before falling behind in 2024. The first quarter of 2025 saw a value resurgence, but growth has since regained momentum.
Notably, small and mid-cap value stocks have struggled, delivering poor returns over the past 10 to 15 years. Despite this, these styles attracted considerable investment following the 1982-2000 bull market.
While large-cap growth has recently surged, the large-cap space is now largely overbought. Investors should monitor underperforming sectors,as they often rebound when bull markets end.
What’s next
As the current bull market ages, keeping an eye on underperforming assets may prove beneficial. Historically, assets that are uncorrelated or non-correlated during bull runs tend to outperform when market conditions shift.
