Funds like QVAL from Alpha Architect stick to a quantitative strategy that has shown great out performance over time. Meb Faber's funds are also attractive imo.
Great read for all investment philosophies...

Considering QVAL has only been around since late 2014, I highly doubt any performance analysis can be drawn to this point to show that its worth the .79% expense ratio. Since it has only 41 stocks, the average investor could build this portfolio pretty easily with less cost.
