New VFLO ETF Seeks High Free Cash Flow Yields & Favorable Growth Prospects

James ComtoisJun 22, 2023
2023-06-22

Victory Capital Management has launched its latest exchange traded fund, the VictoryShares Free Cash Flow ETF (VFLO), on the Nasdaq. The new rules-based ETF invests in profitable U.S. large-cap companies with high free cash flow yields and favorable growth prospects.

VFLO seeks to provide investment results that track the performance of the Victory US Large Cap Free Cash Flow Index. The strategy aims to select high-quality companies from the universe by applying profitability screens. It then selects companies with the strongest free cash flow yield that exhibit higher growth. Higher free cash flow gives companies the ability to reinvest cash, pay dividends, or repay debts.

Mannik Dhillon, president, VictoryShares and Solutions, said that VFLO is “designed to capitalize on companies with attractive free cash flow yields without sacrificing growth potential.”

The index screens an initial universe of companies for historical and projected free cash flows. It then eliminates companies with the worst growth characteristics to seek better outcomes in a variety of market environments.

Index constituents are selected from a universe of 400 companies measured profitable by their projected free cash flows and earnings. Financial companies and real estate investment trusts are excluded. The index then calculates the free cash flow yield and a growth score for all 400 companies.

That list of 400 is then narrowed to the 75 companies with the highest free cash flow yields. Each company is assigned a growth score based on its growth metrics, such as sales trends and earnings trends. The index provider then selects the 50 companies with the highest growth scores to be included in the index. The index is rebalanced every quarter.

Victory Capital is a diversified global asset management firm with $154.8 billion in assets under management as of May 31.

Free cash flow (FCF) represents the cash that a company generates after accounting for cash outflows to support operations and maintain its capital assets.
1/ This Index calculates free cash flow yield by dividing expected free cash flow by enterprise value. Expected free cash flow is the average of trailing 12-month FCF and next 12-month forward free cash flow. Enterprise value (EV) measures a company’s total value, often used as a more comprehensive alternative to equity market capitalization.
2/ The Victory U.S. Large Cap Free Cash Flow Index’s starting universe is the VettaFi 1000 Index which consists of market cap weighted U.S. large-cap stocks.
3/ Growth rate is defined as the long-term sales growth trend defined as an average of 5-years historical and 2-years forward sales growth

All investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. The Fund has the same risks as the underlying securities traded on the exchange throughout the day. Redemptions are limited, and commissions are often charged on each trade. ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value. The Fund invests in securities included in, or representative of securities included in, the Index, regardless of their investment merits. The performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Index. Investments concentrated in an industry or group of industries may face more risks and exhibit higher volatility than investments that are more broadly diversified over industries or sectors. Derivatives may not work as intended and may result in losses. Large shareholders, including other funds advised by the Adviser, may own a substantial amount of the Fund’s shares. The actions of large shareholders, including large inflows or outflows, may adversely affect other shareholders, including potentially increasing capital gains. Investments in mid-cap companies typically exhibit higher volatility. The value of your investment is also subject to geopolitical risks such as wars, terrorism, environmental disasters, and public health crises; the risk of technology malfunctions or disruptions; and the responses to such events by governments and/or individual companies.
