B 79 FUND DESCRIPTION tracks a market-cap-weighted index of U.S. micro-cap stocks. The index selects the smallest 1000 stocks in the Russell 2000 Index. FACTSET ANALYTICS INSIGHT offers size and liquidity in a segment where both of those elements are wanting. It takes a plain vanilla, market-cap-weighted view of the micro-cap segment. From our perspective, however, it skews large, putting a lot of weight in companies we consider small-caps. Its beta indicates that the fund is relatively volatile compared with the broad US micro-cap market. Still, it provides decent coverage of the space overall. The real draw for is its liquidity: retail traders will find a fund that trades in high volume each day at thin spreads, and block liquidity is excellent for larger investors. The catch is that charges a rather high, but competitive, fee for the micro-cap space. Holdings costs are likely to be lower, however, thanks to smart management that recovers a sizeable chunk of the fund's expense ratio.
