AUSF seeks to outperform traditional market capitalization weighted indexes by allocating across three factors – minimum volatility, value, and momentum – that have historically demonstrated advantages compared to broad benchmark indexes.

AUSF either allocates to two factors with a 50% / 50% weighting, or all three factors with a weighting of 40% / 40% / 20% depending on the trailing returns of each factor.

Dynamically allocating across multiple factors within one ETF can result in tax efficiencies compared to buying and selling individual factor ETFs.
