PCIG

Polen Capital International Growth ETF

PCIG Description

PCIG aims to deliver sustainable, above-average earnings growth and long-term stock price appreciation within the global ex-US equity market. The strategy is rooted in fundamental research, selecting 25-35 large-cap growth companies with a sustainable edge like consistent earnings growth, robust balance sheets, and shareholder-oriented management teams. Such companies are selected within industries characterized by high barriers to entry, such as those requiring substantial capital investment, government approvals, or significant intellectual property. Moreover, it integrates ESG factors into the investment process. While the fund may concentrate investments in the consumer discretionary and financial sectors, it avoids over-concentration in any one industry. Investments are typically held for the long term but are subject to period review and potential sale based on changing market conditions, company performance, or perceived threats to competitive advantage.

AMID

Argent Mid Cap ETF

AMID Description AMID aims to outperform the Russell MidCap Index over the long term by applying Change-Based Investing strategies. The fund actively invests in stocks undergoing positive internal or external change, which the issuer believes could lead to underappreciated growth. The starting universe begins with 1,500 US mid-cap stocks that are screened for liquidity and grouped by sector. Using their proprietary Argent Alpha Model, stocks are ranked under four main categories: Value, Growth, Quality, and Stability. Stocks within each sector with positive exposure to outperforming factors are considered. The remaining companies are grouped into current and future market segments based on expected outperformance in the current or future market cycle. Finally, the fund uses fundamental analysis to select 35-50 stocks with prospect improvements at the company or industry level. Sectors may be overweighted at various times in the economic cycle. Individual securities are capped at 8%.
