CRSP US Large Cap Value Index

What the CRSP US Large Cap Value Index is, where it lives officially, and how its ride has looked over the years.

What does the CRSP US Large Cap Value Index track?

Roughly 340 large US companies that look cheap compared to their earnings, book value and dividends — the unglamorous half of the market: banks, healthcare, energy, industrials.

This is the classic "value" factor: buying dollar bills for ninety cents and waiting patiently. It won't excite anyone at a dinner party, and that is sort of the point.
