AMID

Argent Mid Cap ETF

AMID Description

AMID aims to outperform the Russell MidCap Index over the long term by applying Change-Based Investing strategies. The fund actively invests in stocks undergoing positive internal or external change, which the issuer believes could lead to underappreciated growth. The starting universe begins with 1,500 US mid-cap stocks that are screened for liquidity and grouped by sector. Using their proprietary Argent Alpha Model, stocks are ranked under four main categories: Value, Growth, Quality, and Stability. Stocks within each sector with positive exposure to outperforming factors are considered. The remaining companies are grouped into current and future market segments based on expected outperformance in the current or future market cycle. Finally, the fund uses fundamental analysis to select 35-50 stocks with prospect improvements at the company or industry level. Sectors may be overweighted at various times in the economic cycle. Individual securities are capped at 8%.
