The fund focuses on factors of size, price, and profitability, using a methodology developed in conjunction with DFA. This is applied to the US small-cap space, defined as the 750th largest company with the exclusion of the smallest 4%. The selection process begins with this universe of small cap stocks. Securities with relatively lower prices and higher profitability are included in the index, while low momentum stocks (based on 11-month returns) are de-emphasized relative to their peers. The fund is reconstituted and rebalanced on a semiannual basis, subject to a cap of 4%.
