Objective

The Small-Cap ETF folio was developed for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation with volatility comparable to the MSCI U.S. Small-Cap 1750 Index.

Strategy

The Small-Cap ETF folio is composed of 2 ETFs designed to track the MSCI U.S. 1750 Small-Cap Value and Growth Index.

Index investing can provide investors with a convenient way to approximate the performance of a particular market segment. This folio’s equal allocation to growth and value indices yields a blend investment style. The design of this folio allows investors to cover a large breadth of small-cap securities.

Steps to Create This Folio

  1. We chose ETFs offered by Vanguard which are designed to closely track the following market indices:
    • MSCI US Small-Cap 1750 Growth Index
    • MSCI US Small-Cap 1750 Value Index
    These indexes are the growth and value subsets of the MSCI US Small-Cap 1750 Index, which includes the smallest 1,750 stocks component of the MSCI US Investable Market 2500 Index. The MSCI US Investable Market represents the 2,500 largest U.S. companies based on market capitalization.
  2. We equally weighted the ETFs in the folio.

Number of Securities

There are 2 securities in the folio.

Update Frequency

Quarterly.

If the characteristics of the Folio have changed substantially, the securities included may change. Also, corporate actions, such as a merger, or other events may cause changes to the securities held at any time. Your returns may deviate significantly from the values displayed here, due to many factors, including how long after a folio has been updated that you place orders to update your holdings. RTGs are updated using market data from multiple sources including Zacks Investment Research ( www.zacks.com ), International Data Corporation (IDC) ( www.idc.com ), and other suppliers.
