Index Description

The index is designed to select securities intended to produce performance that is similar to professional investment managers following a small to mid-cap defensive value investment discipline. This discipline focuses on companies that are attractively valued relative to peers and that have strong balance sheets and consistent earnings as a means of providing defensive exposure.
