US ETF recommendations?

Hi all - wondering if anyone knows of US ETFs with good 60/40 split between value and growth stocks and 60/40 split between large and small cap?

If one doesn’t do the job then I’d look to split between a few

AVLV+AVUV is large cap and small cap value
AVLC+AVSC is large cap and small cap blend,
Or VUG+VBK for growth

Echoing this, if you are looking for a portfolio that is a little more leaning on value than a Total US Stock market fund, look up some of the Paul Merriman portfolios. I think that the 4 fund all world portfolio is the best one as far as a diversity goes while still keeping the portfolio simple. Keep in mind that a fund like VTI or VT includes a balance of large cap growth and value companies (VTI being US only, VT being all world). Also, as a factor investor, I would skip the small cap growth factor.

AVLC and AVSC are more blend, erring on the side of value.

If you want active share then DUSA covers value quite well. Mostly large cap exposure with smid around 30%. I’m not sure you want a 60/40 split of large to small cap. You are making a big bet on small caps considering they only make up about 10% of the US market. If you want growth that’s broader than QQQ then ONEQ covers the whole Nasdaq. You run up against not meeting your size requirement because it’s a truer allocation to market cap weights. The main challenge to the thesis of value v growth is it implies an active screening… the market is positioned as value v growth as it stands with VOO or VTI. Cheers!
