IMCB

iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF

IMCB Description

IMCB is a passively-managed portfolio that offers exposure to a blend of growth and value stocks in the US mid-cap space. Stocks are selected based on Morningstars index methodology that uses fundamental factors. This methodology identifies growth securities as those with relatively above-average historical and forecasted earnings, sales, equity, and cash flow growth, while value securities as those with relatively low valuations based on price-to-book ratios, price-to-earnings ratios and other factors. The underlying index is reconstituted twice annually and rebalanced quarterly. Prior to March 19, 2021, the fund tracked the Morningstar US Mid Core Index under the ticker JKG.

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.
