ARS Focused Opportunities Strategy ETF
Methodology
We seek to identify the best-positioned and undervalued companies across market capitalization ranges and include investments characterized as growth and/or value in their orientation. Our primary goal is to build the purchasing power of portfolios over time. Our ARS Focused Opportunities Strategy (AFOS) philosophy is to buy the most assets, cash flow, and earnings for the fewest dollars among leading companies that we believe stand to be the beneficiaries of global capital flows. We prioritize industries we see benefiting most from the strongest secular trends and avoid those seen with the greatest secular headwinds. This often leads to industry and sector allocations that diverge from that of market indices. We then select businesses we believe are poised to benefit from these trends, with what we perceive as the greatest margin of safety on their valuations. The strategy’s portfolio construction process is not limited by guidelines such as capitalization size or individual stock and sector weightings of a benchmark.
Why purchase this ETF?
Investing in the ARS Focused Opportunities Strategy ETF (AFOS) offers a way that is intended to support a path towards building and preserving wealth over time by targeting investments that we believe can outpace inflation and deliver meaningful long-term return potential. By focusing on companies poised to benefit from durable secular trends, AFOS seeks to enhance purchasing power—an essential objective in today’s environment of persistent inflation and evolving global dynamics.
AFOS can also serve as a valuable complement to traditional passive strategies by offering differentiated exposure that isn’t tied to benchmark constraints. For investors looking to diversify beyond standard index allocations while pursuing long-term growth with valuation discipline, AFOS provides a high-conviction, actively managed solution designed to thrive in a shifting investment landscape.
