Fund Description
The Fund is actively managed by Alpha Architect, LLC, the Fund’s investment sub-adviser (“Alpha Architect” or the “Sub-Adviser”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities.
The Fund is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it primarily invests its assets in the shares of other exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), rather than in securities of individual companies. The Fund’s portfolio is composed primarily of four other ETFs sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser: Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF, Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF, Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF, and Alpha Architect
International Quantitative Momentum ETF (each, an “Underlying Alpha Architect ETF”). The Fund invests in value and momentum securities. Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF and Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF provide exposure to domestic equity securities, while Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF and Alpha Architect International Quantitative Momentum ETF provide exposure to international equity securities.
The Underlying Alpha Architect ETFs can be grouped into ETFs that use a quantitative momentum investment strategy (Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF and Alpha Architect International Quantitative Momentum ETF, referred to as the “Momentum ETFs”) and those that use a quantitative value investment strategy (Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Value ETF and the Alpha Architect International Quantitative Value ETF, referred to as the “Value ETFs”). A “momentum” investment style emphasizes investing in securities that recently have had better recent total return performance compared to other securities. In contrast, a “value” investment style emphasizes investing in securities that based on quantitative analysis are considered undervalued compared to other securities.
The Sub-Adviser manages each of the Underlying Alpha Architect ETFs using a multi-step, quantitative, rules-based methodology to identify a portfolio of equity securities with the highest relative momentum (for the Momentum ETFs) or potential for capital appreciation (for the Value ETFs), as described below. Construction of each Momentum and Value ETF’s portfolio begins with a universe of stocks that principally trade on the applicable exchanges (e.g., either U.S. exchanges or exchanges in countries included in the MSCI EAFE Index). Each universe of stocks is then screened to, among other things, include the largest common stocks based on their market capitalization (e.g., above $1 billion). A liquidity screen is then employed to eliminate illiquid securities.
For the Momentum ETFs, the Sub-Adviser then eliminates companies with potential issues, and thereafter screens the remaining companies to identify those with the highest cumulative return for the past 12 months, excluding the last month. Last, the Sub-Adviser employs momentum quality screens to identify which of the remaining companies has experienced the most consistent positive returns during the 12-month period measured above. The Sub-Adviser will reallocate the Momentum ETFs’ portfolios on a periodic basis, generally each month.
For the Value ETFs, the second stage incorporates proprietary models to identify and exclude companies at risk of potential poor financial performance. The third stage employs a value-driven approach to identify the cheapest firms based on a proprietary value-centric metric similar to what is known as the “enterprise multiple,” a firm’s total enterprise value divided by earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). Last, the Sub-Adviser employs an ensemble of quality screens, which consider metrics like current profitability, stability, and recent operational improvements. The Sub-Adviser will reallocate the Value ETFs’ portfolios on a periodic basis, generally each month.
The Sub-Adviser allocates the Fund’s portfolio across the four Underlying Alpha Architect ETFs using a proprietary model. The Fund will generally allocate more assets to an Underlying Alpha Architect ETF with higher relative momentum and fewer assets to an Underlying Alpha Architect ETF with lower relative momentum.
Reallocations and Cash
The Fund’s portfolio will generally be reallocated quarterly, but the Sub-Adviser can reallocate more frequently, such as up to twice a month.
