It does this by seeking to manage systematic risk exposures such as value, growth, momentum, exchange-rate sensitivity, leverage and liquidity. Furthermore, the ETF rebalances monthly adapting to the dynamic and ever-changing markets in order to provide the most optimal portfolio for risk-adjusted returns. It was designed to be held as an alternative to a core equity holding in an investor’s portfolio.

The fund’s total expense ratio (TER) is 0.30% due to a contractual fee waiver in place. Its gross expense ratio is 0.30%.
