Large-cap growth strategies have been a highly popular investment approach for years. But risk within these strategies have certainly been growing as of late.Key Takeaways: Large-cap growth approaches are seeing elevated risk due to concentration concerns and elevated multiples. Value strategies offer a strong use case. Choosing the right value strategy to invest in is critical, considering how some stocks are simply cheap for a good reason. Tweedy, Browne looks to find attractive opportunities within value securities by choosing value companies in which insiders are buying up the company’s own stock. Large-cap growth risk is mostly elevated for two reasons. First, concentration risk remains elevated, as growth approaches lean into a narrow set of securities and sectors. Second, extended multiples within these large-cap names are making each future earnings call an increasingly risky proposition. If companies don’t soundly outperform earnings expectations, the consequences can be immense. All the large-cap growth risk is just one of many reasons investors are leaning toward value investing again. However, one of the traditional challenges within value investing lies within determining which companies are truly undervalued and which are cheap for a reason.

To see this strategy in practice, take a look at the Tweedy Browne Insider + Value ETF (COPY ). COPY’s approach to value investing centers around finding value stocks that are seeing action from company insiders. Generally, this means value companies in which the company’s own executives, directors, or controlling shareholders are buying up the company’s stock. Alternatively, COPY may also zero in on value companies conducting share buybacks in an opportunistic manner.
