I initiate coverage on the First Trust Active Factor Mid Cap ETF, assigning a 'hold' rating due to cautious optimism. AFMC's multi-factor approach—value, momentum, quality, and low volatility—has recently outperformed IJH, especially by leveraging momentum. Despite a high 0.68% expense ratio and bid/ask spread, AFMC offers strong GARP characteristics with a top-decile modified PEG ratio.

The company described operates a mutual fund that specializes in investing in mid-capitalization U.S. equity securities. The fund commits to allocating at least 80% of its net assets, which includes borrowed investments, into stocks of mid-cap companies listed in the United States. The investment strategy hinges on targeting companies that fall within the market capitalization range defined by a recognized mid-cap index at the time of investment. This approach reflects the fund's focus on investing in companies that have the potential for growth while still offering a level of stability and market presence beyond that of smaller companies.
