Description

The fund targets the most liquid Canadian stocks with attractive valuations. Starting with the companies that are listed, incorporated, domiciled, and have their primary business in Canada, the fund initially narrows down the selection through a liquidity screen which leaves the top third of the universe. Remaining securities are then scored and ranked based on five fundamental factors: 1) price to earnings ratio, 2) price to cash flow ratio, 3) price to book value, 4) price to sales ratio and 5) upward earnings estimate revisions. The fund typically holds a concentrated portfolio of 30 equally-weighted securities. The index rebalances and reconstitutes quarterly. Prior to April 22, 2021, the fund name was CI First Asset Morningstar Canada Value Index ETF.
