Net inflows into U.S.-listed ETFs reached an all-time high in the first quarter of 2025, signaling robust investor interest despite market volatility. The surge comes amid heightened uncertainty from trade tensions and recession fears, yet ETFs remain a popular vehicle for portfolio diversification and tactical plays.12

The iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF (IWN) closed at $140.07, posting a 0.95% gain on Thursday, but short-term trends suggest further downside. Technical analysis points to a possible -18.7% drop over the next three months, with trading volume declining even as prices rose—raising caution for near-term investors.34

Despite its focus on undervalued U.S. small-cap stocks, the iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF has underperformed major indices, down 4.6% over the past year. The ETF's portfolio, heavy in financials and industrials, continues to attract interest for diversification, though recent performance trails that of peers and benchmarks.56
