What is FOVL?

The iShares Focused Value Factor ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. large- and mid-capitalization stocks with prominent value characteristics. The top 10% of constituents are screened out based on 12-month realized volatility, and then from there the top 10% of constituents with the most leverage are also screened out. Following these two initial screens for companies with these relatively more risky characteristics, the remaining companies are evaluated to exclude companies with a negative sentiment score, which is determined by examining the prospective earnings per share estimates for the current and following fiscal year. The remaining companies are then ranked based on a weighted composite score of four value factor metrics; price-to-book, price-to-dividend, price-to-earnings and price-to-cash flow from operations (the Composite Score ).
