SMCF

SMCF is a passively managed ETF that tracks an index of small-cap US equities perceived to have high cash flow yield. From a universe of small-cap companies incorporated and listed in the US, the fund considers securities with positive cash flow yields over the last three years. Qualified companies are ranked according to the following year's estimated cash flow yield. The fund then selects 75 of the top-ranked companies. The portfolio is weighted based on their free-float market capitalization, which is capped at 5%. The fund seeks to employ a replication strategy, meaning it will invest in all of the component securities in the same proportion as the index. However, the fund may still utilize a representative sampling strategy, when necessary, in which securities are chosen to provide the same investment characteristics as the index. The fund may engage in securities lending, up to one-third of its total assets. The index is rebalanced quarterly.
