BRF tracks the performance of the MVIS Brazil Small-Cap Index and employs a different take on the small cap space. Its unique pure-play approach targets 100% of the investable universe with at least 25 names and includes non-local companies that generate at least 50% of their revenues in Brazil, in addition to its local exposure. While it does not provide a particularly tight fit to our chosen benchmark, its size, sector, and valuation tilts are, at most, moderate. Constituents are ranked and weighted by market capitalization with an 8% capping scheme on a single security to ensure diversification. Index reviews occur on a semi-annual basis.
