Value exchange-traded funds (ETF) invest in stocks of the companies which pay regular income to their shareholders in the form of dividends. Value ETFs are suitable for investors who are looking for a regular stream of returns at frequent intervals (like monthly or quarterly) from their investments. Such value ETFs attempt to act as a bridge between the regular interest paying bonds and stocks which have uncertain returns. A big diversified set of value ETFs are available in the market which allow the interested ETF investors to choose from those which invest in value companies of a particular geography (like China, Japan, or the U.S.), of a particular sector (like energy, finance, retailers), or based on certain valuation range (like small-, mid- or large-cap value stocks). Value ETFs work opposite of the Growth ETFs, which are the funds that don't pay any regular dividends to shareholders but re-invest the earnings in business to generate high returns. One can also explore the list of Blend ETFs, which offer a mixed bag of both growth and dividend-paying value stocks. Following is the list of all 33 exchange-traded funds that FKnol has in its database for ETFs which belong to the Value category:

The primary aim for value ETFs is to generate a regular stream of returns for its investors. It can be achieved by either the fund itself generating sufficient returns at regular interval by way of selling a part of holdings, or by investing in stocks of the companies which pay regular dividends which can be collectively passed on to the value ETF investors. Since the dividend income is considered tax-free in the hands of recipient shareholders in many markets across the globe, such value ETFs make for an attractive investment option. They are preferred by retirees who may be looking for regular stream of tax-free cashflows, or by any other investor having similar aim. The Value ETFs may select stocks for investing based on their past performance of dividend payment, or on the basis of future potential of regular income generation which will help them maintain the record of regular dividend payments. Such ETFs may also follow a passive investment approach, by simply tracking a stock market index that focuses on value generation theme. Overall, the value ETFs invest in stocks which are known to have high dividend yield, consistent record of regular dividend payment and promising potential for future income generation which gets translated to dividend payments in future. Mostly, the companies operating in the retail, utility, energy and consumer durables sectors are known to be high dividend payers which is where most of the value ETF investments go to.
