What is DVLU?

The First Trust Dorsey Wright Momentum & Value ETF (the "Fund") seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the Funds fees and expenses) of an index called the Dorsey Wright Momentum Plus Value Index (the "Index"). Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in the equity securities that comprise the Index. The Fund, using an indexing investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. The Funds investment advisor seeks a correlation of 0.95 or better (before fees and expenses) between the Funds performance and the performance of the Index; a figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation. The Index is owned and was developed by Nasdaq, Inc. (the "Index Provider"). The Dorsey Wright Momentum Plus Value Index is a rules-based equity index that is designed to track the overall performance of the 50 most undervalued stocks within the NASDAQ US Large Mid Cap Index that maintain high levels of relative strength. The Dorsey Wright Momentum Plus Index Family ( Indexes ) selects securities based on individual stock momentum plus a fundamental factor (value, dividend yield or volatility). Each security in the Index must pass minimum momentum requirements and greater weights are given to securities with better factor scores.

What is ETF correlation?

Correlation is a measure of the strength of the relationship between two ETFs. It quantifies the degree to which prices of the two ETFs typically move together.

Here, correlation is measured over the past year with the Pearson correlation coefficient (Pearon’s r), which ranges from -1 to 1.

Using ETF correlations in portfolio and strategy construction

ETF correlations can help you create investing strategies and portfolios. Use them to:

  • Build a diversified portfolio from uncorrelated or inversely correlated ETFs with the aim of minimizing portfolio risk.
  • Compare correlated or related ETFs to find one with a lower expense ratio or higher trading volume.
  • Create an investing strategy that hedges an ETF with an uncorrelated or inversely correlated ETF.
