XT is passively managed, offering access to global companies that drive or benefit from breakthrough innovations, called exponential technologies. Morningstar determines the seven key themes: AI, energy and healthcare innovation, fintech, cybersecurity and defense, next-gen transportation, and robotics. XT aims for 200 stocks, with a bias on smaller companies and the top 10 leaders in each theme, measured by their thematic scores. Security selection is based on a forward-looking analysis, which assigns an exposure score from 0 to 4 based on projected revenue contribution from these themes over the next five years. To be included in the index, stocks must meet liquidity screens and have a thematic score of at least 1. The index is weighted by market cap, with no stock above 4% and no theme above 25%. Rebalancing is done quarterly and undergoes reconstitution annually. XT appended the term future in its fund name and underlying index methodology was updated.
