Comparison of Vanguard Mega Cap ETF (MGC) to First Trust Large Cap Core AlphaDEX (FEX)

MGC

Vanguard Mega Cap ETF

MGC Description

The investment seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of large-capitalization stocks in the United States. The fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the CRSP US Mega Cap Index. The index is a free-float-adjusted, market-capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity market performance of mega-capitalization stocks. It attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index.

FEX

First Trust Large Cap Core AlphaDEX

FEX Description

The investment seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Defined Large Cap Core Index. The fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets in common stocks that comprise the index. The index is a modified equal-dollar weighted index designed by S&P to objectively identify and select stocks from the S&P 500(R) Index that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive-style indices through the use of the AlphaDEX(R) selection methodology. It is non-diversified.
