small-cap factor-based profitability value-tilt

Small-cap stocks have historically delivered higher returns than their larger counterparts, albeit with greater volatility. This fund systematically targets smaller U.S. companies while screening for profitability metrics, avoiding the pitfalls of owning unprofitable micro-caps. The approach combines the size premium with quality filters, offering a more refined take on small-cap investing than traditional indices.
