NXTV

Simplify Next Intangible Value Index ETF

NXTV Description

NXTV targets US companies with low equity valuations relative to their intangible-adjusted book values within their respective sectors. The fund defines intangible capital as productive assets that lack physical presence and are created through investments in brand, knowledge, and organization capital. The index construction starts by calculating an intangible-adjusted book value for each security in an initial universe consisting of the largest 2000 US companies by market-cap. The 200 stocks with the lowest equity valuations relative to their intangible adjusted book values are selected for inclusion. At least five stocks are included from each of the 13 sectors determined by the index provider using a combination of SIC and NAICS codes along with data from publicly available 10-K filings. Holdings are weighted by market capitalization, with individual security weights capped at 5%. The index reconstitutes quarterly.
