About
The Applied Finance Valuation Large Cap ETF primarily allocates its assets, typically committing at least 80% of its net worth, to equity holdings of large-capitalization companies. For the purpose of this fund, the investment adviser defines large-cap firms as those possessing a market capitalization of $5 billion or greater, determined at the exact point of purchase. While its main focus is on these larger entities, the fund maintains the discretion to also invest in a variety of other securities, including shares of small and mid-sized companies, convertible instruments, preferred shares, rights, and warrants. It's important to note that this is a non-diversified fund.
