iShares MSCI USA Value Factor ETF fell sharply.
Over the last five trading days the fund was roughly unchanged, while the S&P 500 fell slightly, so it held up a little better than the market.
Likely drivers are broad market selling and shifts in investor appetite for value stocks, though the news does not confirm either one.
One item from that day's news concerns the fund buying more Micron shares on Wednesday, but that is a holdings change, not a cause of the day's drop.
