Analysis

Key stats

EBI provides broad exposure to the US equity market by investing in companies regardless of their market-cap, sector, and industry group. What sets it from other ETFs is that it specifically selects companies expected to have higher returns based on their profitability-to-value ratios. It may also consider several other factors for selection including industry classification, price momentum, liquidity, float, securities lending and its investment characteristics. The fund uses an integrated investment approach combining research, portfolio design, portfolio management, and trading functions. However, due to its active management, investment decisions and allocation adjustments are at the discretion of the adviser. The fund may engage in lending activities as well to generate additional income. It may lend its portfolio securities up to 33 1/3% of its total assets if it receives liquid collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of the securities being lent.
