Elevated volatility puts large-cap value stocks in focus

I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.
Large-cap value stocks are gaining attention as investors seek reliable equity hedges amid market volatility. Bank of America notes that stocks with stable earnings and strong balance sheets tend to outperform lower-quality peers during high volatility. Currently, large-cap value stocks rank higher on quality metrics compared to growth stocks. Investors are accessing this trend through the iShares S&P 500 Value ETF (IVE), which includes major companies like Apple, Amazon, and Exxon Mobil. The fund holds 448 stocks, with varying year-to-date performances among its top holdings.
