FTGS is passively managed to hold domestic equities selected for growth metrics using a fundamental methodology. The selection universe initially comprises the top 500 securities by market capitalization in the Nasdaq US Benchmark Index. The universe is narrowed down by screening for at least $1 billion cash on hand, less than 30% long-term debt to market-cap ratio, greater than 15% return on equity, and positive shareholder equity. Then remaining securities are ranked by a composite of their 3-year percentage growth in cash flow and revenue. The top 50 securities are selected, with a restriction that no industry, as determined by the Industry Classification Benchmark, has more than 15 securities. The resulting portfolio is weighted equally. The index reconstitutes and rebalances quarterly.
