Our read on FNDX

ETF.net Research

In short

AA large-cap fund that refuses to size positions by stock price. FNDX weights about 700 U.S. companies by fundamental measures of business size, tilting toward value and profitability instead of whatever the market just bid up.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, an index representing large U.S. companies weighted according to fundamental size measures.

Why people hold it

  • Weights holdings by fundamental size rather than market cap, so a position grows with the business, not with the crowd. The RAFI screen leans on profitability and value.
  • At 0.25% a year, it undercuts the typical fund in its multifactor peer group (median 0.32%).
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, making it one of the easier names in its category to move in and out of. It has tracked its index tightly since launching in 2013.
  • Fully rules-based and passive: the index does the picking and rebalancing, with no manager discretion in the mix. One of the stronger implementations in its peer group.

Worth knowing

  • Plain-vanilla alternatives cost far less: VONV runs 0.06% and VYM 0.04%. The fundamental weighting engine is what you pay the extra for.
  • The value and profitability tilt means the portfolio can look very different from a cap-weighted large-cap index, especially when the largest growth names dominate.
  • Income arrives quarterly, not monthly, and the mandate targets fundamentals rather than yield.
