ABOUT THIS FUND
This passively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) aims to mirror, before its operating costs, an underlying index composed of prominent U.S.-listed corporations. These companies are recognized for their emblematic American brands across various consumer-centric sectors, including air travel, automotive manufacturing, apparel, dining establishments, beverage producers, and grocery retailers. The fund achieves its objective through a full replication strategy, directly holding the same securities in identical proportions as the benchmark index. This index employs a refined free-float market capitalization methodology, incorporating limits on individual company holdings (issuer caps), and a fundamental weighting bias based on dividend yield, free cash flow yield, and the efficiency of free cash flow return on invested capital. Furthermore, the index applies filters for ideological impartiality and deliberately omits specific types of businesses. Its components are reassessed and rebalanced twice yearly, specifically in June and December.
