| Investment Objective: |
The Frontier Economic Fund seeks to track the performance of The Alaska Last Frontier Index, a rules-based strategy index designed by Vident to capture the economic footprint of companies with meaningful exposure to the State of Alaska. The Index identifies and emphasizes firms doing business in Alaska including natural resource utilization, economic development, operational presence, and participation in state-sponsored initiatives. By tracking this Index, the Fund aims to provide investors with targeted exposure to companies that contribute to and benefit from Alaska's unique economic landscape, emphasizing those with the greatest alignment to the state's growth and opportunity. Eligible companies are weighted according to their market capitalization tier, defined as large-cap for all stocks in the top 70% of the investable universe by market capitalization, mid-cap for the next 20%, and small-cap for the remaining stocks. Upward adjustments to weighting are made programmatically to emphasize companies belonging to sectors that are particularly significant to Alaska's economy as measured by Alaska's share of U.S. GDP attributable to that sector. |
