MVFD

Monarch Volume Factor Dividend Tree Index ETF

MVFD Description

MVFD focuses on equities demonstrating strong cash flow and dividend potential, shifting towards fixed income ETFs linked to US Treasurys in unfavorable cash flow scenarios. The fund seeks to mirror the performance of its target index, comprised of 40 equally weighted stocks selected for their financial health and income-producing ability, alongside up to 5 fixed income ETFs. Driving its selection process is the proprietary Volume Factor methodology, which examines stocks by analyzing the dynamics between market volume and price. This analysis is facilitated by a distinctive volume-price confirmation indicator. Evaluating a broad pool of 3,000 U.S. stocks, the methodology generates a composite score to rank and ensure that only the top-performing equities under positive financial conditions are chosen. MVFDs strategy aims for adaptability, modifying its equity-to-fixed income ratio based on prevailing financial trends. Furthermore, the index undergoes quarterly reconstitution to realign with market changes, optimizing the funds portfolio composition accordingly.
