Fund Description
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index. The U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index is a systematic, rules-based proprietary index that is maintained and calculated by FTSE Russell. The U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index is based on the Russell Midcap® Index using a methodology developed with Franklin Templeton to reflect Franklin Templeton’s desired investment strategy. The Russell Midcap® Index is a subset of the Russell 1000® Index and is designed to measure the performance of mid-capitalization stocks in the United States. It includes approximately 800 of the smallest issuers in the Russell 1000® Index.
The U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index seeks to achieve a lower level of risk and higher risk-adjusted performance than the Russell Midcap® Index over the long term by applying a multi-factor selection process, which is designed to select equity securities from the Russell Midcap® Index that have favorable exposure to four investment style factors – quality, value, momentum and low volatility. Factors are common characteristics that relate to a group of issuers or securities that are important in explaining the returns and risks of those issuers’ securities. The “quality” factor incorporates measurements such as return on equity, gross profit over assets, cash return on assets and gross margin sustainability. The “value” factor incorporates measurements such as forward earnings yield, EBITDA to enterprise value, price to book value and dividend yield. The “momentum” factor incorporates measurements such as 6-month risk adjusted price momentum and 12-month risk-adjusted price momentum. The “low volatility” factor incorporates measurements such as historical beta (i.e., a measure of the volatility of a security relative to the total market).
At the time of each semi-annual reconstitution of the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index, no company shall comprise more than 1% of the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index. The U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index is also constrained in its construction to limit turnover of constituent securities at each semi-annual reconstitution. As of May 31, 2024, the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index was comprised of 209 securities with capitalizations ranging from $1.8 billion to $74.24 billion.
The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index. The Fund may use either a replication strategy or representative sampling strategy. Under a replication strategy, the Fund will replicate the component securities of the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index as closely as possible (i.e., invest in all of the component securities in their respective weightings in the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index). However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to replicate the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index. In these circumstances, the Fund may use a “representative sampling” strategy whereby the Fund would invest in what it believes to be a representative sample of the component securities of the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index, but may not track the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index with the same degree of accuracy as would an investment vehicle replicating the entire U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index. Under the representative sampling technique, the investment manager will select securities that collectively have an investment profile similar to that of the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index, including securities that resemble those included in the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index in terms of risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics, such as market capitalization and industry weightings. The Fund’s portfolio is reconstituted semi-annually following the semi-annual reconstitution of the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index.
The Fund may invest in equity futures (including equity index futures) and equity total return swaps to provide additional opportunities to add value and better track the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index, such as to equitize cash and accrued income (i.e., gain equity market exposure and maintain liquidity until the Fund invests in individual securities), simulate investments in the Underlying Index, facilitate trading or minimize transaction costs.
The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its net assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the U.S. Mid Cap Underlying Index is concentrated.
