Recommendation
SPECULATIVE
Deeply undervalued but risky. A rating of SPECULATIVE is assigned to ETFs with ALTAR Scores in the top quintile (the top 20%) of their category, indicating exceptional appreciation potential. However, often these are narrowly-focused funds or in industries with structural issues, which may also make them very risky. Nonetheless they may still be useful as part of a well-diversified portfolio.
Category Overview
There are 896 funds in the US Equities category, with an average ALTAR Score™
of 6.0% and a standard deviation of
3.0%. IYZ's ALTAR Score™ is approximately
1.4 standard deviations
above
the category average. This places IYZ in the 92nd percentile among funds in the category.
