RNSC vs. XSHQ ETF Comparison

Comparison of First Trust Small Cap US Equity Select ETF (RNSC) to PowerShares S&P SmallCap Quality Portfolio (XSHQ)

RNSC

First Trust Small Cap US Equity Select ETF

RNSC Description

The Small Cap US Equity Select ETF (the "Fund") seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Nasdaq Riskalyze Small Cap US Equity Select Index (the "Index"). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in common stocks that comprise the Index. The Fund, using an indexing investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. The Fund's investment advisor seeks a correlation of 0.95 or better (before fees and expenses) between the Fund's performance and the performance of the Index; a figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation. The Index is owned and is developed, maintained and sponsored by Riskalyze, Inc. (the "Index Provider").
