In the Stock Market, Value Again Lags Growth

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: In the never-ending tug-of-war between growth and value investing, growth has lately been the strong-armed winner.

This year, through the first quarter, for example, the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned over 15 percent, again better than the also excellent return of just over 11 percent for the Russell 1000 Value Index. And growth outperformed value for seven of the 10 years from 2009 through 2018.

Until the last decade, however, value stocks often outperformed growth, leading some proponents of the value style of investing to hope for a return to dominance. But there is no assurance that such a shift will happen soon.
Regards,
Ted
