In theory, these elements of risk\/mispricing lead to expected above-market returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this strategy has failed over the past couple of years, causing many to doubt\/question what is going on with the strategy.&nbsp;Given the recent underperformance, there have been a lot of articles written about the \u201cDeath of Value Investing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of these articles that examine this question, \u201cIs Value Dead?\u201d, have examined the performance of two well-known indices, the Russell 1000 Value index, and the Russell 1000 Growth index. These are widely referenced in the industry, are market-cap-weighted, and have returns going back to 1979.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Value is supposed to beat Growth over the long-run, how have the indices performed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is the performance from 1\/1\/1979 through 7\/31\/2020 of the Russell 1000 index, the Russell 1000 Growth index, and the Russell 1000 Value index.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alphaarchitect.com\/2020\/08\/18\/value-investing-an-examination-of-the-1000-largest-firms\/#note-58423-1\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"173\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/alpha-Aug-20-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56948 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/alpha-Aug-20-1.png 999w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/alpha-Aug-20-1-700x121.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/alpha-Aug-20-1-300x52.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/alpha-Aug-20-1-768x133.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 999px; aspect-ratio: 999\/173;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The results are hypothetical results and are NOT an indicator of future results and do NOT represent returns that any investor actually attained.

Pretend that there are only 4 stocks in the universe in which we can invest. We are going to simply look at the firms\u2019 earnings each year, and compare that to the price one would pay if you bought the entire company\u2019s equity (i.e. the firm\u2019s market capitalization). This is the simple P\/E ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 Stock Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Stock 1: Earnings = $100, Market Cap = $1000, Price\/Earnings = 10<\/li><li>Stock 2: Earnings = $50, Market Cap = $1000, Price\/Earnings = 20<\/li><li>Stock 3: Earnings = $25, Market Cap = $1000, Price\/Earnings = 40<\/li><li>Stock 4: Earnings = $10, Market Cap = $1000, Price\/Earnings = 100<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>So in my simple 4-stock example, Stocks 1 and 2 trade at a lower multiple of earnings relative to Stocks 3 and 4. A systematic Value investor, who only uses the P\/E multiple, would prefer Stocks 1 and 2 compared to Stocks 3 and 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a shopping example, Stocks 1 and 2 are \u201con-sale\u201d compared to stocks 3 and 4. All 4 firms have the same market cap, but firms 1 and 2 make more $ (earnings) each year. So they \u201cvalue\u201d or \u201ccheap\u201d stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, my example above is very simplified and we are only looking at one point-in-time number\u2013past year\u2019s earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firms 3 and 4 may be growing at a faster rate, and we can create more advanced models to try to figure out the \u201cbest\u201d investment. However, if it were the case that experts can create better models, then active managers wouldn\u2019t&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.spindices.com\/spiva\/#\/reports\">lose to the market<\/a>&nbsp;~ 80% of the time over 5 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Academics have studied how Value stocks perform relative to Growth stocks. In general, they use the book value of assets divided by the market cap of the firm, as this was the measure used in the seminal 1992\/1993 Fama and French papers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What did they find?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They found that Value stocks outperformed Growth stocks. In the original paper, they highlight that this is most likely compensation for taking on additional risk (to underscore that this is not a free lunch).&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alphaarchitect.com\/2020\/08\/18\/value-investing-an-examination-of-the-1000-largest-firms\/#note-58423-2\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, one can use other measures to identify cheap stocks, besides P\/E and B\/M. We examined different methods&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alphaarchitect.com\/2014\/10\/27\/quantitative-value-research-a-summary-of-various-value-metrics-1013\/\">here<\/a>. However, the big picture takeaway was the following \u2014 Value beat Growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So back to our Russell 1000 examples\u2013why then, does the Russell 1000 indices have Growth beating Value?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of this is the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftserussell.com\/products\/indices\/russell-us-style\">construction process<\/a>&nbsp;that they use. Here are the three variables that they use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Book-to-Market<\/li><li>Medium-term forecast earnings growth rate based on I\/B\/E\/S two-year forecasts<\/li><li>Sales-per-share growth rate based on five-year historical sales<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Without making any judgments on whether or not this is a good\/bad process, one should note that the methodology is definitely different than the simple example above, which was simply splitting firms on the P\/E multiple (or other value measures, like B\/M or EBIT\/TEV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/alphaarchitect.com\/2020\/08\/18\/value-investing-an-examination-of-the-1000-largest-firms\/\">Alpha Architect Blog<\/a> to read the full post.
