FYC vs. PSC ETF Comparison

Comparison of First Trust Small Cap Growth AlphaDEX Fund (FYC) to Principal U.S. Small Cap Index ETF (PSC)

FYC

First Trust Small Cap Growth AlphaDEX Fund

FYC 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 Small Cap Growth 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 SmallCap 600(R) Growth 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.
