VUSE vs. FTC ETF Comparison

Comparison of Vident Core US Equity ETF (VUSE) to First Trust Large Cap Growth AlphaDEX Fund (based on the Defined Large Cap Growth Index) (FTC)

VUSE

Vident Core US Equity ETF

VUSE Description

The investment seeks to track the price and total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Vident Core U.S. Equity Index (the "Strategy Index"). Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund's total assets will be invested in the component securities of the Strategy Index and investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of such component securities.

FTC

First Trust Large Cap Growth AlphaDEX Fund (based on the Defined Large Cap Growth Index)

FTC 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 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 500(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.
