The fund is passively managed to provide broad exposure to US large-cap growth firms. The index selects stocks based on six growth factors: expected long-term growth in earnings per share (EPS), expected short-term growth in EPS, 3-year historical growth in EPS, 3-year historical growth in sales per share, current investment-to-assets ratio, and return on assets. Securities are scored and ranked based on the composite of these growth factors, which is also the basis of their weighting. The resulting portfolio is a representative take on the large-cap growth space. The index is fully reviewed on a quarterly basis.
