First Trust RBA American Industrial Renaissance® ETF (AIRR)
Investment Objective/Strategy - The Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund's fees and expenses) of an index called the Richard Bernstein Advisors American Industrial Renaissance® Index (the "Index"). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. equity securities that comprise the Index. The Index is designed to measure the performance of small and mid cap U.S. companies in the industrial and community banking sectors.
There can be no assurance that the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved.
Index Description According to the Index Provider
  • The Richard Bernstein Advisors American Industrial Renaissance® Index is designed to measure the performance of small and mid cap U.S. companies in the industrial and community banking sectors.
  • To construct the index, Richard Bernstein Advisors LLC (RBA) begins with the Russell 2500® Index and eliminates companies not directly related to manufacturing and related infrastructure, and banking.
    • Banks will then be chosen from states considered to be traditional manufacturing hubs.
  • To be eligible for inclusion in the index, companies must derive the majority of their revenues from the United States, therefore all securities issued by companies with non-U.S. sales > 25% are excluded. Additionally, securities must be issued by companies that have positive mean 12-months forward earnings consensus estimate.
  • A security must meet the size and liquidity standards of the index according to the index provider.
    • RBA places no limit on the number of constituents included in the index. Typically the process results in 30-60 constituent securities.
  • RBA uses a proprietary portfolio optimization method to weight each individual constituent company.
  • The index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.
