Our read on EZM
CA 2007-vintage twist on mid caps: EZM's index only takes U.S. companies that actually generate earnings, then holds roughly 600 of them. Profit screen first, size second.
The fund seeks to track earnings-generating mid-cap companies in the U.S. equity market.
Why people hold it
- The index screens for earnings-generating U.S. mid caps, so unprofitable names don't ride in on size alone.wisdomtree.com
- Roughly 600 holdings spread the exposure across the mid-cap field instead of leaning on a handful of names.
- Live since 2007, through the financial crisis and everything after, and it pays quarterly.
- Stays in its declared lane: U.S., equity, mid cap, tracking the published WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Index with tight fidelity to that mandate.wisdomtree.com
Worth knowing
- The screen costs money: 0.38% a year against a 0.15% category median, while plain cap-weighted rivals VO and SCHM run 0.03%.
- It trades thinly next to the category's giants, so spreads can be wider when you go to buy or sell.
- An earnings screen builds a different basket than a standard cap-weighted mid-cap index, so results will diverge from that benchmark in both directions.
