Company information
Summary
The investment seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield (before the fund's fees and expenses) of an equity index called the StrataQuant® Materials Index. The fund will normally invest at least 90% of its net assets (including investment borrowings) in the common stocks that comprise the index. The index is a modified equal-dollar weighted index to objectively identify and select stocks from the Russell 1000® Index in the materials and processing sector that may generate positive alpha relative to traditional passive-style indices through the use of the AlphaDEX® selection methodology.

Indicators
Glossary
- Momentum
- A technical indicator that measures the rate of change in price movements over a specific period. It indicates the strength or weakness of a price trend.
Assessment: A positive momentum value generally indicates a good trend, while a negative value suggests a weak or downward trend. - Inertia
- In trading, inertia refers to the tendency of prices to continue moving in their current direction. It suggests that an asset's price will likely maintain its current trend.
Assessment: A higher inertia value is generally considered good, as it indicates a strong and sustained price trend. - Relative Strength Index (RSI)
- A momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements. It helps identify overbought or oversold conditions in an asset.
Assessment: An RSI value above 70 is typically considered overbought and may suggest a potential reversal or correction. Conversely, an RSI value below 30 is often considered oversold, indicating a possible upward price correction. - Fibonacci's Weighted Moving Average
- A technical indicator that assigns different weights to recent data points, giving more significance to recent prices. It helps smooth out price fluctuations and identify trend reversals.
Assessment: The interpretation of the Fibonacci's Weighted Moving Average value depends on its comparison to other moving averages or trendlines. A value above 50 may indicate an uptrend, while a value below 50 may suggest a downtrend. - Williams %R
- A momentum indicator that measures overbought or oversold conditions in an asset. It shows the relationship of the current closing price to the high-low range over a specified period.
Assessment: Williams %R values above -20 are typically considered overbought and may indicate a potential price reversal. Values below -80 are often viewed as oversold, suggesting a potential price bounce. - Relative Volatility Index (RVI)
- A technical indicator that measures the volatility of a security by comparing the magnitude of recent price movements to the magnitude of average price changes. It helps identify periods of high or low volatility.
Assessment: A higher RVI value suggests higher volatility, which can provide trading opportunities but also carries increased risk. - Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
- A versatile indicator that measures the current price level relative to an average price level over a given period. It helps identify overbought or oversold conditions and potential trend reversals.
Assessment: CCI values above 100 are often considered overbought, indicating a potential price correction or reversal. Values below -100 are typically viewed as oversold, suggesting a potential price rebound.
