Did You Miss the Value Trade?
The latest five‑year data shows a pronounced resurgence in value investing, with a 9.0% global value premium and regional premiums ranging from 7.2% in the United States to 19.4% in Japan. Charts from Ken French’s data library and Verdad research illustrate the widening valuation spreads that have emerged since early 2021. The trend marks a clear shift away from the growth‑centric market dynamics that dominated the previous decade. Analysts argue the value trade is already underway and investors are beginning to reallocate capital accordingly.
