Under normal market conditions, the fund generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the index. The index applies an alternative weighting methodology to the S&P Composite 1500 Index so that stocks with relatively low valuations (i.e., relatively "cheap") are overweight relative to the S&P Composite 1500 Index and stocks with relatively high valuations are underweight.

Key Concepts to UnderstandFive things that drive ETF performance more than anything else
Net Assets (AUM)
Total money the ETF manages. Larger AUM usually means tighter bid-ask spreads and lower closure risk. ETFs under $50M are sometimes liquidated by the issuer.
Learn more →NAV
Net Asset Value, the per-share value of everything the ETF owns minus what it owes, calculated end-of-day. The trading price can drift slightly above (premium) or below (discount) NAV during the day.
Learn more →Tracking Error
How closely the ETF's returns match its benchmark. Index ETFs aim for near-zero tracking error; high tracking error in an index fund usually signals fees, sampling, or poor management.
Learn more →Total Return
Capital gain + reinvested dividends. The headline price chart only shows the price part, total return is what you actually pocket, and is the only fair way to compare ETFs across asset classes.
