FYT
First Trust Small Cap Value AlphaDEX FundFYT Fund Description
FYT tracks an index of securities pulled from the S&P SmallCap 600 Value Index that are rescreened and weighted based on a tiered process.
FYT Factset Analytics Insight
FYT attempts to improve upon the S&P SmallCap 600 Index by rescreening it with its own value metrics and then applying a tiered weighting system. FYT's methodology aims to target 'pure' value firms; that is, no company can make its way into both the growth and value versions of its small-cap index, and its price ratios, which have a decided value bias (save for a lower yield), lend credence to this strategy. With this comes significant sector bets, however, as FYT underweights financials by over 20% and heavily overweights energy and industrials. FYT focuses on small caps but falls heavily into microcap territory too, which notches up the risk significantly, as suggested by its high beta. Recent performance has been decent especially next to that of vanilla funds. Still, the fund’s sky-high holding costs—considerably more than its headline fee—and weak trading volume should give pause to prudent investors.Note: On April 8, 2016 the fund switched underlying indexes from the old “Defined” index to the current Nasdaq version. The index universe may differ slightly but the factors and methodology are the same.
