Investment Policy
To achieve its investment objective, the US Equity ETF, using a market capitalization weighted approach, generally purchases a broad and diverse group of equity securities of U.S. companies. A companys market capitalization is the number of its shares outstanding times its price per share. In general, the higher the relative market capitalization of the eligible company, the greater its representation in the Portfolio. The Advisor may increase or decrease the Portfolios exposure to an eligible company, or exclude a company, after considering such factors as free float, momentum, trading strategies, liquidity, size, relative price, profitability, investment characteristics, and other factors that the Advisor determines to be appropriate. An equity issuer is considered to have a low relative price (i.e., a value stock) primarily because it has a low price in relation to its book value. In assessing relative price, the Advisor may consider additional factors such as price to cash flow or price to earnings ratios. In assessing profitability, the Advisor considers different ratios, such as that of earnings or profits from operations relative to book value or assets. In assessing a companys investment characteristics, the Advisor considers ratios such as recent changes in assets divided by total assets.
