- Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF (QVAL) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in undervalued U.S. equity securities selected through a proprietary quantitative value methodology. The fund targets the cheapest stocks from an initial universe of the largest 1,500 U.S. stocks by market capitalization, constructing a portfolio of approximately 50 holdings with minimal benchmark overlap and a unique value filter emphasizing enterprise multiples and other fundamental metrics; it maintains at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. company securities, with sector allocations including significant exposure to consumer cyclical, energy, industrials, and communication services. QVAL, with an expense ratio of 0.29% and approximately $442 million in assets under management as of December 2025, trades on Nasdaq and pays quarterly distributions. Alpha Architect, LLC, the fund's investment adviser founded in 2010 and headquartered in Broomall, Pennsylvania, manages QVAL as part of a broader suite of over 35 ETFs offering evidence-based factor investing strategies, including quantitative value (QVAL, IVAL), quantitative momentum (QMOM, IMOM), tail risk (CAOS), and fixed income products like the Alpha Architect 1-3 Month Box ETF (BOXX); the firm also provides separately managed accounts and white-label ETF services to sophisticated investors, with total firm assets exceeding $20 billion. Operations focus on U.S. and international equity markets for institutional and retail investors seeking affordable alpha through systematic, research-intensive approaches. In recent developments, Alpha Architect expanded its ETF lineup with new launches such as the Alpha Architect US Equity ETF (AAUS) and Aggregate Bond ETF (BOXA) highlighted in 2024 prospectuses, alongside continued growth in assets under management to over $8 billion in Alpha Architect ETFs and $10 billion in white-label services as of June 2025. The firm joined FactSet's New Fund Issuer360 program in 2025 to enhance portfolio analytics and reporting capabilities. QVAL itself maintains stable operations with a 30-day median bid-ask spread of 0.14% and consistent performance, reporting a one-year NAV return of 3.63% as of November 2025.
