About this ETF
The AdvisorShares Dorsey Wright FSM U.S. Core ETF (DWUS) aims to achieve alpha, or superior returns, by complementing broad market exposures with a more discerning approach. Unlike typical index funds that inherently include both strong and weak companies, DWUS leverages Dorsey Wright's time-tested trend-following methodology and advanced investment modeling. This process is designed to pinpoint the most robust U.S. large-capitalization equity investments while systematically avoiding those exhibiting underperformance. DWUS distinguishes itself through its proactive, active management. Many exchange-traded funds simply mirror a benchmark index, thereby holding every stock within it, even those with less appealing investment characteristics. In contrast, DWUS's investment strategy involves a consistent and systematic evaluation of the U.S. large-cap equity universe. This rigorous screening dictates which asset classes are strategically included in, or removed from, its highly dynamic and tactical portfolio. Understanding that various investment styles cycle through periods of favor and disfavor, successful domestic core equity management necessitates agile adaptation. Factors such as equal-weighting, market-cap weighting, growth, value, low volatility, and momentum all play a critical role in determining performance. DWUS addresses this by allocating capital to the highest-ranking funds within its investment universe. This approach seeks to capitalize on the growth of U.S. large-cap equity styles demonstrating the strongest relative strength, while strategically sidestepping those that are lagging. A cornerstone of the DWUS strategy is its systematic defense mechanism. The fund operates under the conviction that mitigating significant losses is paramount for capital preservation and contributing to better long-term performance. Consequently, DWUS employs a rules-based framework that allows it to tactically shift a portion of its portfolio into cash or short-term fixed income when a pre-defined defensive indicator is triggered. This temporary defensive stance is engineered to provide a buffer against extreme and potentially severe market downturns.
