S&P 500 & Equities·MarketWatch· 1h ago

Here’s a big reason the S&P 500 has trailed ‘pure’ versions of the index that focus on value and growth

Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross

"The S&P 500's broad composition means it's lagging behind more focused investment strategies. Investors chasing pure value or growth stocks are seeing better returns than those holding the benchmark index. This highlights how targeted approaches can outperform broad market exposure in the current environment."
