BBLU

EA Bridgeway Blue Chip ETF

BBLU Description

BBLU offers concentrated exposure to US blue-chip stocks. The selection process starts with the largest 150 US companies by market-cap. The sub-adviser narrows down the initial universe based on a model-driven statistical approach that considers both market capitalization and industry diversification. Additionally, the funds investment process incorporates financially material ESG information and excludes companies involved in the tobacco industry, those with direct or indirect business tied to Sudan, and those engaged in production or trade of pornographic material. Investors should note that ESG information is just one investment consideration and is not the sole determinant of the funds holdings. The portfolio typically holds approximately 35 stocks, more or less due to corporate actions. On October 17, 2022, it converted from the mutual fund Bridgeway Blue Chip Fund (Ticker: BRLIX) to an ETF with $194 million in assets.
