The Index combines fundamental criteria with individual security risk control achieved through volatility weighting of individual securities. The Index follows a rules-based methodology to construct its constituent securities: ? The Index universe begins with all publicly traded U.S. stocks and then gathers the bottom 10% by market capitalization as represented by the NASDAQ US Small Cap Index (NQUSS). ? The Index then screens for the 500 largest companies by market capitalization with positive earnings over the last 12 months. ? The 500 stocks are weighted based on their daily standard deviation (volatility) of daily price changes over the last 180 trading days. Stocks with lower volatility receive a higher weighting and stocks with higher volatility receive a lower weighting. The Index is reconstituted every March and September (based on information as of the prior month-end) and is adjusted to limit exposure to any particular sector to 25%. The Index may include more than or fewer than 500 stocks depending on the number of companies meeting the Indexs criteria. As of September 30, 2024, the Index had a market capitalization range from $0.5 billion to $21.1 billion. The Fund generally seeks to track the returns of the Index before fees and expenses by employing a replication strategy that seeks to hold all the stocks in the Index.
