This actively-managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) aims to fulfill its investment objective by allocating at least 80% of its net assets, in addition to any borrowings for investment purposes, to equity securities of small and mid-capitalization companies. The focus is primarily on investing in publicly traded stocks of U.S. companies that the adviser identifies as having a small to mid-size market capitalization, indicating a strategy aimed at tapping into the potential growth opportunities within this segment of the market.
The fund operates as an ETF with an active management strategy, distinguishing it from passively managed funds that merely track a market index. This approach allows for dynamic adjustments in the portfolio, aiming to capitalize on market opportunities and manage risks associated with small and mid-cap investments.
At least 80% of the fund's assets are invested in the equity securities of small to mid-capitalization companies. This investment focus seeks to leverage the growth potential and market adaptability often found within these segments, accentuating an investment philosophy geared towards companies which the advisor believes have significant room for growth and valuation improvements.
