RNSC vs. OPTZ ETF Comparison

Comparison of First Trust Small Cap US Equity Select ETF (RNSC) to Optimize Strategy Index ETF (OPTZ)

RNSC

First Trust Small Cap US Equity Select ETF

RNSC Description

The Small Cap US Equity Select ETF (the "Fund") seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Nasdaq Riskalyze Small Cap US Equity Select Index (the "Index"). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in common stocks that comprise the Index. The Fund, using an indexing investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. The Fund's investment advisor seeks a correlation of 0.95 or better (before fees and expenses) between the Fund's performance and the performance of the Index; a figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation. The Index is owned and is developed, maintained and sponsored by Riskalyze, Inc. (the "Index Provider").

OPTZ

Optimize Strategy Index ETF

OPTZ Description

OPTZ seeks to track a broad market index consisting of US-listed equities that meet certain market-cap threshold and liquidity requirements. To be included in the fund, eligible large-cap and small-cap companies are evaluated and ranked within their own sector. Large cap companies are ranked based on the ratio of current EPS over the trailing 10-year average EPS, the current P/E ratio, and the 2-year forward EPS growth estimate. Small-cap companies are ranked solely on their P/S ratio. Within these two groups, the top 20% are selected from each sector. The index weights the sectors using the sum of the market capitalization of all constituents in each sector and within each sector each constituent is equally weighted. Reconstitution and rebalancing are done semi-annually.
