Investors have long debated the relationship between growth and value. In 2022, value stocks have shown better results: The iShares S&P 500 Value ETF is down 9.5% this year, while the iShares S&P 500 Growth ETF is down by 31.7%.

A $5,000 investment in that iShares Growth exchange-traded fund 10 years ago would be worth $17,620 today, as long as you reinvested your dividends along the way in more units of that ETF. The same investment in the Value ETF would be worth only $14,040.
