The VictoryShares US Multi-Factor Minimum Volatility ETF (VSMV) offers investors access to a curated selection of large and mid-sized American companies, engineered to temper market fluctuations and enhance returns relative to the risk undertaken. This fund strives to mirror the performance of the Nasdaq Victory US Multi-Factor Minimum Volatility Index, prior to any associated fees or operational costs. The underlying index utilizes a two-pronged strategy to achieve robust risk-adjusted equity returns while concurrently working to keep overall portfolio volatility at bay. Its initial phase involves a thorough screening process, assessing companies based on key fundamental indicators like earnings quality, price momentum, profitability, and valuation, in order to pinpoint those most likely to outperform. Subsequently, the index minimizes portfolio instability by strategically weighting selected stocks, considering their interdependencies (correlations) and adhering to various constraints. This index undergoes a comprehensive review and adjustment cycle every six months.
