SMLF: A Measured Approach To Smaller Capitalization Companies
SMLF's multifactor strategy and mid-cap exposure have driven its outperformance, offering a balanced mix of fair valuation and high profitability. The ETF's allocation includes 25% mid caps, differentiating it from pure small-cap funds, and has delivered strong returns, outperforming the Russell 2000 index. SMLF's valuation is justified by its higher profitability and growth metrics, despite trading at a premium to the Russell 2000 and peers.

Undercovered ETFs: Nuclear, Uranium, China, India +
The 'Undercovered' Dozen series highlights lesser-covered ETFs, offering insights from various authors on potential investment opportunities and market trends. Global X Uranium ETF is seen as well-placed for a uranium bull market, driven by increasing demand for nuclear energy from major tech companies. iShares MSCI India ETF offers exposure to India's fast-growing economy, presenting perhaps a strong investment opportunity despite recent pullbacks due to shifts towards the Chinese market.
