This ETF offers exposure to the large cap U.S. equity market, making it one of many options available for accessing an asset class that is a major component of many portfolios. EXT should be viewed as an alternative to funds like SPY and IVV, as this ETF offers exposure to a generally similar group of securities but features nuances that result in a unique risk/return profile. Most notable is the weighting methodology; the underlying index uses reported earnings to determine component companies and the weightings assigned to individual components. As such, EXT may feature a value tilt and biases towards/away from certain sector of the U.S. economy. This methodology may appealing because it shifts exposure towards low P/E companies, and avoids the potential drawbacks of simple market cap weighting. EXT is slightly more expensive than some of the cap-weighted ETF options out there, but those who believe the unique methodology will consistently add alpha may be happy to pay a few extra basis points in fees.
