Our read on FXN
CEnergy exposure without the two-giant problem. FXN ranks Russell 1000 energy names on growth and value marks, keeps the best scorers, and tier-weights about 40 of them so smaller drillers carry real weight. Running since 2007.
The Fund seeks to track before expenses the price and yield of the StrataQuant® Energy Index, an enhanced index using the AlphaDEX® methodology to select energy-sector stocks.
Why people hold it
- Rules do the picking: stocks are scored on growth marks (3, 6 and 12-month price moves, sales to price, sales growth) and value marks, then sorted into quintiles by score.nyse.comftportfolios.com
- Weighting is tiered, not cap-driven: the top-scoring quintile takes a third of the index, equal-weighted within tiers, so about 40 names share the load instead of two giants.nyse.com
- A 2007 launch means this strategy has run through multiple oil booms and busts, and shares change hands actively. Pays quarterly.
Worth knowing
- At 0.63% a year, it charges roughly double the median factor fund in its peer group. That is the price of the quant screen.
- The index reconstitutes and rebalances quarterly, which the fund's prospectus notes can push portfolio turnover higher.otcmarkets.comnyse.com
- One sector, concentrated by design: energy prices and drilling budgets drive results, with no cushion from other parts of the market.ftportfolios.com
