DWAS offers exposure to small- and mid-cap names with convincing momentum characteristics. Yet, its strategy of capitalizing on SMID stocks that were on a tear did not translate into meaningful and consistent outperformance in the past. Its historical risk-adjusted returns are much weaker than those of IVV and IJR, owing to its volatility, which, in turn, is likely influenced by soft quality.
Rate cuts are coming, it seems, with the U.S. economy slowing down precipitously in July. Market watchers are increasingly seeing a potential 50 basis point (bps) cut in September with potentially even more cuts after that.
Invesco Dorsey Wright SmallCap Momentum ETF holds 199 small caps selected and weighted based on a proprietary momentum score. The DWAS ETF is overweight in industrials and healthcare, but well-diversified across holdings. Based on quality metrics and price history, DWAS has a high-risk/high-reward profile.
DWAS has an index-based strategy designed to benefit from strongly performing small-cap stocks that are anticipated to continue climbing higher. I have identified two reasons why the ETF is a suboptimal choice: the soft quality of its portfolio and its inconsistent past performance. A pronounced mid-cap tilt might be another issue for investors who are looking for pure-play small-cap portfolios.
