First Trust Dorsey Wright Dynamic Focus 5 ETFFVC Fund Description
FVC tracks an index of global sector and industry ETFs, selected by price momentum and weighted equally. The fund can also allocate to cash in varying amounts based on momentum.
FVC Factset Analytics Insight
FVC is a momentum-based sector rotation ETF with a few twists. Its fund-of-funds structure pulls from a pool of First Trust sector and industry ETFs, both U.S. and global in scope. (Non-sector funds with “significant” sector overweights are also in bounds.) As such, the underlying ETFs use multifactor stock selection and weighting, driven by growth and value factors, rather than cap-weighing as found in a sector SPDR ETF.This approach has proved popular in the form of sister ETF FV. The ETFs themselves are selected by price momentum: The Dorsey Wright relative strength model picks the 5 ETFs with the strongest momentum and equally weights them. However, the momentum model also considers a cash index, and if a third of the ETFs in the universe start to fare worse than cash, the fund allocates to T-bills. The cash allocation can vary from 0 to 95%, although it caps any single move at the fortnightly rebalance to 33%. A rival fund, PowerShares’ DWTR, also employs a Dorsey Wright index with a cash toggle, but uses PowerShares momentum ETFs as the underlying universe.FVC isn’t cheap to hold, and the strategy could produce high turnover with attendant risks to tracking and tax efficiency.
