Deepwater Beachfront Small Cap ETF invests primarily in equity securities of small-cap companies listed on a U.S. exchange. The Fund defines "small-cap" companies as those with a total market capitalization that falls within the range of the Russell 2000 Index (the "Index") at the time of purchase. The term "beachfront" in the Fund's name represents the Adviser's commitment to constructing a portfolio of companies that the Adviser believes are the highest-quality companies in their respective industries. While attention is given to top-down analysis, the Adviser utilizes primarily a bottom-up approach to identify investment opportunities. In selecting securities for the Fund, the Adviser focuses on fundamental stock analysis, but layers on statistical, quantitative, and other research techniques to bolster the research process. A proprietary quantitative screening is applied to build a custom universe that allows the team to focus its efforts. The screening process utilizes fundamental and statistical attributes such as revenue growth, average trading volume, margin expansion, and valuation, while also incorporating factor-screening methodology, to create an internal list of companies.
