FNK: Should You Buy This Mid-Cap ETF With An 11x Forward P/E?

FNK has an attractive 10.94x forward P/E that is the lowest among all mid-cap value ETFs. The fund has $224 million in assets under management and a 0.70% expense ratio.

Since its Index change, FNK has lagged low-cost and better balanced ETFs like IJJ and EZM. It has also lagged RFV, which tracks the S&P MidCap 400 Pure Value Index.
