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.
  • Bank stocks will be limited to a maximum of approximately 10% of the index at rebalance.
  • RBA screens to exclude companies with non-U.S. sales greater than or equal to 25% and for positive 12-month forward earnings estimates.
  • RBA uses a proprietary portfolio optimization method to weight each individual constituent company. No position will exceed approximately 4% of the total index at rebalance. Other criteria:
    • $6 minimum share price
    • $200 million minimum market cap
    • Liquidity of at least $500k trading volume on average each day
  • At each quarter the index is rebalanced such that each segment of the index will be capped at its predetermined weight. If at any time during the year other than the rebalancing date, a security no longer meets the eligibility criteria, or is otherwise determined to have become ineligible for inclusion in the index, the security is removed from the index and is not replaced.
