The First Trust Horizon Managed Volatility Small/Mid ETF (HSMV) aims to deliver capital appreciation to its shareholders. To achieve this principal objective under typical market conditions, the Fund allocates a substantial portion—at least 80%—of its net assets (which may include borrowed capital) to specific types of investments. These consist of common stocks issued by small and/or mid-capitalization companies. These equities are publicly traded on U.S. national exchanges and are specifically chosen by Horizon Investments, LLC based on their projected low future volatility.

Strong returns in U.S. stocks, particularly over the past two plus years, have led investors to question the relative lack of companies going public via the IPO process — as well as the potential implications for the IPO market in the long term. According to active equity managers, a combination of increased public market regulation, a reduced pipeline of potential offerings following the prior boom, the rising role of large private asset managers in capital raising, and near-term uncertainty surrounding government policy are all contributing factors. At Russell Investments, we think investors benefit from taking a long-term view.
