About this ETF
This ETF is managed by an advisor who employs a sophisticated, rules-based quantitative model to assess and select U.S. common stocks. The primary aim is to construct a portfolio whose combined holdings are anticipated to exhibit less price volatility when compared to the broader U.S. equity market. To ensure broad diversification, the fund's investments span companies of varying market capitalizations—including large, mid, and small—as well as numerous distinct market sectors and industry groups. Its overarching goal is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. A significant portion, typically at least 80%, of the fund's total assets will be committed to securities issued by U.S.-based corporations.

Guided help: AUM is fund size. The expense ratio is the yearly cost baked into returns. NAV is the value of what the fund owns per share; the market price can sit slightly above (premium) or below (discount) it. Total return assumes distributions were reinvested. Every dataset shows its own as-of date because holdings, assets and quotes update on different schedules.
