Description

The fund employs a multifactor take on the Canadian equity market by combining technical price momentum indicators with upward earnings estimate revisions. 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: i) return on equity (20%), ii) 3-, 9- and 12-month price momentum (40%), iii) 90-day fiscal earnings estimate revision (30%), and iv) last quarterly earnings (10%). The fund 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 Momentum Index ETF.
