Based on analysis of his videos, the YouTube channel Moneyvest treats the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) differently than individual small-cap stocks, focusing on it as a medium-to-long-term investment rather than a high-risk daily trade.
While many individual small-cap stocks are often traded by investors for quick, volatile gains (or high risk), Moneyvest treats IWM as a way to gain diversified exposure to the small-cap sector, particularly focusing on accumulating it as a position to hold over 12 months, with price targets like $233 to $300.
Key differences in his approach to IWM compared to individual small caps include:
- Investment Horizon: Moneyvest considers IWM a "medium to long-term hold" rather than a day-trading or short-term speculative instrument.
- Buying Strategy: He has expressed "buying more" and adding to his position in IWM to benefit from potential interest rate cuts and sector rotation, rather than using it for quick, daily momentum trades.
- Leverage Usage: While he may use 3x leveraged ETFs like TNA for trading, IWM is treated as a foundational investment for a 12-month outlook.
- Diversification: By using IWM, he focuses on the broader Russell 2000 index, avoiding the high risk associated with individual small-cap biotech or mining stocks.
Summary of Moneyvest's Approach to IWM:
- Goal: Capitalizing on long-term growth and potential rate cuts.
- Outlook: 12-month+ holding period.
- Action: Accumulating/Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA).
This approach contrasts with the high-turnover, high-risk strategy often used for volatile individual small-cap equities.
