PRF vs. ETF Alternatives
PRF Description
The PowerShares FTSE™ RAFI US 1000 Portfolio (Fund) is based on the FTSE™ RAFI US 1000 Index (Index). The Fund will normally invest at least 90% of its total assets in common stocks that comprise the Index. The Index is designed to track the performance of the largest U.S. equities, selected based on the following four fundamental measures of firm size: book value, cash flow, sales and dividends. The 1000 equities with the highest fundamental strength are weighted by their fundamental scores. The fundamentally weighted portfolio is rebalanced and reconstituted annually.

- Monday, March 18, 11:24 AM Schwab (SCHW) files for a lineup of "fundamental indexing" ETFs, with 5 of the offerings copycats of already-available mutual funds. Jokingly called by its creator Rob Arnott "active management in drag," fundamental indexing looks at earnings, cash flow, dividends, and book value, and tends to favor smaller-cap stocks. The most popular current RAFI ETF is PowerShares' (PRF) which has outperformed the SPY. Comment! [Financials]
- Tuesday, May 15, 2012, 3:12 PM Joel Greenblatt seeks to perfect indexing with the Value Weighted Index - continually rebalanced to weight most heavily stocks that are priced at the largest discount to various measures of value. Over time, Value Weighted Indexes handily beat Fundamentally, Equally, and Market-Cap Weighted Indexes. Comment!
