A Focus On Consistent And Sustainable Returns

The Zacks Small/Mid Cap Core Portfolio (SMIZ) ETF represents the combination of our Small and Mid Cap separately managed accounts (SMAs), drawing upon over a decade of comprehensive research and analysis.

Utilizing the Zacks Proprietary Multi-factor Alpha Model, our portfolio management team identifies a selection of the most liquid US stocks for the SMIZ ETF according to analyst agreement, magnitude, upside and surprise. This results in a portfolio of stocks that are positioned to generate returns that exhibit minimal correlation with broader market indices.

Investment Objective

The Zacks Small/Mid Cap Core Portfolio ETF seeks to generate consistent and sustainable returns while minimizing the risk of capital loss in the Small and Mid Cap asset classes.

Comprised of approximately 200 thoughtfully selected companies, this portfolio leverages market anomalies to capture alpha and benefits from diversification. These companies are chosen based on their alignment with our criteria for delivering risk-adjusted returns and diversification advantages. As a result, SMIZ is designed to yield returns that show limited correlation with broader market benchmarks amidst volatile economic environments. The quantitative screens are combined with the qualitative judgment of the portfolio manager based on an analysis of from Zacks Proprietary Multi-factor Alpha Model, valuation, and improving fundamentals.
