The fund passively provides exposure to the broad US large-cap value market. Holdings may reach beyond just large-caps by our yardstick, including a portion of midcap equities. The underlying index is constructed using a multi-factor model that classifies value securities in the mid-cap market based on book-to-price, forward earnings-to-price, historic earnings-to-price, dividend-to-price ratio, and sales-to-price ratio. Securities are scored and ranked based on the composite of these five factors, which is also the basis for their weighting. The index is fully reviewed on a quarterly basis.
