This ETF is designed to invest in a curated selection of large and mid-capitalization U.S. companies, targeting those that exhibit exceptional quality, favorable valuations, strong dividend prospects, and promising growth indicators across various industries. The fund's strategy emphasizes an equally weighted structure for its holdings, coupled with a deliberate optimization of sector exposure. The sub-adviser employs a unique quantitative screening process to identify potential investments. This rigorous methodology evaluates securities using a range of factors, such as Return on Equity (ROE), Return on Investment (ROI), Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratios, dividend yields, projected growth estimates, and earnings momentum. Crucially, the fund applies only those metrics deemed most relevant and effective for defining and assessing companies within each specific sector. From this meticulous analysis, 50 to 100 top-performing stocks are chosen based on their weighted average rank across the selected criteria. As an actively managed vehicle, the sub-adviser consistently monitors these investments through a systematic quantitative approach. This ongoing oversight enables the fund to dynamically adjust its positions, leveraging the sub-adviser's expert assessment and discretion to navigate changes in economic conditions, valuations, or corporate earnings. It is also notable that on April 22, 2024, the fund formally incorporated "Equal Weight" into its name.
