Summary

IShares MSCI USA Value Factor’s target index uses a combination of sector neutrality and forward-looking metrics that have pushed its allocation to a single holding, Micron, up to roughly 25% at one point. While this is a rare occurrence, the single-stock concentration risk of the portfolio warrants a Process Pillar rating downgrade to Average from Above Average.
