Monitor for further index rebalancing or macro rotation out of value. The Schwab exit may be technical, but continued selling by active managers would be more bearish.
Executive Summary
An institutional cluster for VTV shows strong net selling of ~$274.6M, dominated by Schwab's near-exit (99.8% reduction), likely a passive rebalancing. One active value fund (Matrix) added modestly. The sell-side conviction is low due to passive nature, but the scale is notable.
