Fund Objective

The Texas Capital Texas Small Cap Equity Index ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the total return performance of the Texas Capital Texas Small Cap Equity Index (the “Index”).

The Index is a sector GDP weighted and market-capitalization weighted diversified index designed to reflect the performance of stocks in small-capitalization companies that are headquartered in Texas. The key business sectors in the Index include industrials, energy, consumer discretionary, healthcare and real estate.


Fund Rationale

We believe companies headquartered in Texas enjoy certain economic, regulatory, taxation, workforce and other benefits relative to companies headquartered in other states. We believe small capitalization companies enjoy these benefits in greater proportion when compared to larger, more geographically diverse companies. In the Advisor’s view, the strong business environment in the state of Texas is demonstrated by, among other things, its infrastructure spending and resources, relatively low cost of conducting business, export data, and third-party rankings and recognitions.

We believe the Fund offers a cost-effective opportunity to invest directly in small-capitalization companies that benefit from the economic environment in Texas.

Macroeconomic Trends. 

Captures and capitalizes on the macroeconomic trends of companies located in Texas’s favorable business climate.

Industry Diversification. 

Investment weighting determined by GDP-based sector weights and market capitalization-based company weights.

Small Cap Exposure. 

Specific exposure to small companies located in one of the world’s largest economies by GDP.
