VB vs. FNK ETF Comparison

Comparison of Vanguard Small-Cap ETF (VB) to First Trust Mid Cap Value AlphaDEX Fund (FNK)

VB

Vanguard Small-Cap ETF

VB Description

The investment seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of small-capitalization stocks. The fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the CRSP US Small Cap Index, a broadly diversified index of stocks of small U.S. companies. 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.

FNK

First Trust Mid Cap Value AlphaDEX Fund

FNK Description

The investment seeks results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the Defined Mid Cap Value 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 MidCap 400(R) Value 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.
