Fund Details
Investment Thesis
Fundamental indexing breaks the link between price and portfolio weight: when a stock gets expensive relative to its sales and cash flow, FNDX systematically trims it — the opposite of what cap-weighted funds do. That discipline cost it during the pure growth years and paid off handsomely in the recent broadening, driving a 1-year return that beat most cap-weighted large-cap funds.
Who It's For
Investors who believe cap-weighting overpays for hype and want an automatic rebalance toward fundamentals, without going full value-fund. A credible core alternative or complement to an S&P 500 holding.
