PowerShares S&P MidCap Low Volatility Portfolio

XMLV Description

The PowerShares S&P MidCap Low Volatility Portfolio (Fund) is based on the S&P MidCap 400 Low Volatility Index (Index). The Fund generally will invest at least 90% of its total assets in common stocks that comprise the Index. The Index is compiled, maintained and calculated by Standard & Poor's, consisting of 80 out of 400 medium-capitalization range securities from the S&P MidCap 400 Index with the lowest realized volatility over the past 12 months. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down asset price fluctuations over time. The Fund and the Index are rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly.

CSB

Compass EMP US Small Cap High Dividend 100 Volatility Weighted Index ETF

CSB Description

CSB's take on the US small-cap space mirrors that of its large-cap sibling, CDL. To qualify for this fund, a company must be among the 500 largest US companies under 3 billion USD in market cap and must have positive earnings for the four most recent quarters. The index selects the 100 highest dividend-yielding stocks from this group and weights them by inverse volatility, giving overweight to low-vol stocks. The index applies 20% country cap and 25% sector cap with semi-annual reconstitution starting each March. The funds closest peers are sibling funds: CSA, which has the same exposure but without the dividend yield screen, and CSF with a cash toggle feature during downturns.
