FTHI vs. CSB ETF Comparison

Comparison of First Trust High Income ETF (FTHI) to Compass EMP US Small Cap High Dividend 100 Volatility Weighted Index ETF (CSB)

FTHI

First Trust High Income ETF

FTHI Description

The investment seeks current income; capital appreciation is a secondary objective. The fund will pursue its objectives by investing in large cap equity securities listed on U.S. exchanges and by utilizing an "option strategy" consisting of writing (selling) U.S. exchange-traded covered call options on the Standard & Poor's 500(c) Index (the "index"). The market value of the option strategy may be up to 20% of the fund's overall net asset value. The equity securities in which the fund will invest and the options which the fund will write will be limited to U.S. exchange-traded securities and options. It is non-diversified.

CSB

Compass EMP US Small Cap High Dividend 100 Volatility Weighted Index ETF

CSB Description

CSB's take on the US small-cap space mirrors that of its large-cap sibling, CDL. To qualify for this fund, a company must be among the 500 largest US companies under 3 billion USD in market cap and must have positive earnings for the four most recent quarters. The index selects the 100 highest dividend-yielding stocks from this group and weights them by inverse volatility, giving overweight to low-vol stocks. The index applies 20% country cap and 25% sector cap with semi-annual reconstitution starting each March. The funds closest peers are sibling funds: CSA, which has the same exposure but without the dividend yield screen, and CSF with a cash toggle feature during downturns.
