Our read on AZTD

ETF.net Research

In short

DMost developed-market small-cap funds hand you thousands of names. AZTD screens North America, Western Europe and Asia on six factors and keeps about 40. A boutique's high-conviction take on SMID, priced accordingly.

Stated mandate

The Fund passively tracks the Solactive Aztlan Global Developed Markets SMID Cap Index before fees and expenses.

Why people hold it

  • Six factors (value, cash flow, capital structure, growth, EPS revisions, momentum) get equal say, and component selection is fully rule-based, not a manager's call.solactive.comsolactive.com 2
  • Roughly 40 names spread across North America, Western Europe and Asia. Real conviction, not a closet copy of a thousand-stock global small-cap benchmark.solactive.com
  • Health care is included but the pharmaceutical sub-sector is screened out, tilting the sleeve toward devices and services over drug-pipeline bets.solactive.com
  • It tracks a published Solactive index, so the rulebook and each rebalance list are out in the open at the index sponsor.solactive.com

Worth knowing

  • 0.75% a year runs above the median for its international equity peer group, and well above core options like AVDE (0.23%) and DFIC (0.22%).
  • A small fund that trades thinly. Limit orders matter here, and spreads can be wider than on the category's mainstream names.
  • About 40 stocks means single names move the fund far more than they would inside a broad developed-markets index.
