FEX vs. RECS ETF Comparison

Comparison of First Trust Large Cap Core AlphaDEX (FEX) to Columbia Research Enhanced Core ETF (RECS)

FEX

First Trust Large Cap Core AlphaDEX

FEX Description

The investment seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Defined Large Cap Core Index. The fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets in common stocks that comprise the index. The index is a modified equal-dollar weighted index designed by S&P to objectively identify and select stocks from the S&P 500(R) Index that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive-style indices through the use of the AlphaDEX(R) selection methodology. It is non-diversified.

RECS

Columbia Research Enhanced Core ETF

RECS Description

The investment seeks investment results that, before fees and expenses, closely correspond to the performance of the Beta Advantage® Research Enhanced U.S. Equity Index. The fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the securities of the index. The index is comprised of a subset of the companies within the Russell 1000® Index. The index was designed to reflect the performance of U.S. large- and mid-cap growth and value companies through the application of a rules-based methodology, which typically results in approximately 325-400 Index holdings, but this range can fluctuate because the index has no constraints on number of holdings.
