The Dow Jones Select Microcap Enhanced Index Strgy Portfolio

The information shown relates to a trust that is no longer offered for sale. This information does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy units of the trust.

Strategy

The Dow Jones Select Microcap Enhanced Index Strategy Portfolio, an enhanced index unit investment trust, consists of 50 micro-cap stocks.

The portfolio seeks above-average capital appreciation. The portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by using an enhanced index strategy to select a portfolio of 50 stocks from the Dow Jones Select MicroCap Index. The Dow Jones Select Microcap Index Strategy follows a disciplined investment strategy developed by Horizon Investment Services, LLC.

Why Invest in the Dow Jones Select Microcap Index Strategy Portfolio?

  1. Growth Potential A higher level of capital appreciation may be achieved in micro caps than in other market vehicles. These companies are usually new and emerging industries or in niche markets, and may achieve above-average growth. Micro caps have historically exhibited relatively low correlation with small caps or mid caps. Because micro caps have historically exhibited a low correlation with the broad U.S. market, they may be viewed as an effective tool for portfolio diversification. The portfolio also potentially provides sector diversification over economic sectors in the DJSM Index. Micro-cap stocks are often more volatile and have lower trading volumes than stocks of larger companies. Micro-cap companies may have limited products or financial resources, management inexperience and less publicly available information.
  2. Enhanced Index Strategy(EIS) The strategy uses a disciplined, rigorously back-tested selection model implemented by Horizon Investment Services, LLC. The quantitative stock selection is designed to outperform the DJSM Index and a quality, not quantity approach is used in selecting stocks for their potential to contribute to the overall performance.
  3. Transparency The strategy uses a quantitative stock selection model. This provides transparency into how the stocks are selected for the strategy since it is rules-based.
  4. Diversification Micro caps have not typically moved in synch with small caps or mid caps. Because micro caps have historically exhibited a low correlation with the broad U.S. market, they may be viewed as an effective tool for portfolio diversification. The portfolio also potentially provides sector diversification over economic sectors in the DJSM Index.
  5. Unique Product Investors have a limited number of microcap options available. The strategy provides access for a convenient and relatively low-cost exposure to a subset of the stocks in the DJSM Index.
  6. Increasingly Popular Asset Class Micro caps have gained interest among investment professionals in recent years because of their distinct characteristics. The micro-cap category has gained notice with the introduction of three exchange-traded funds.

What Is the Dow Jones Select MicroCap Index?
The Dow Jones Select MicroCap Index measures the performance of micro-cap stocks trading on the New York Stock Exchange, American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq that are comparatively liquid and have strong fundamentals relative to the micro-cap segment as a whole. All stocks traded on the NYSE, are ranked by full market capitalization, and then are divided into deciles containing equal numbers of securities. Decile nine and ten are defined as micro caps. All stocks traded on the NYSE, the AMEX and NASDAQ whose market capitalizations are within or below the micro-cap range defined by the NYSE stocks are included in the selection universe.

Stock Selection
The index composition is determined by selecting stocks from the universe based on size, trading volume and financial indicators.

  1. Eliminated from the selection universe are any securities that do not meet all three of the following criteria:
     
    • Within the top 1,000 stocks by full market capitalization
    • Within the top 1,000 stocks by three-month dollar volume
    • Within the top 1,500 stocks by one-month dollar volume
  2. Excluded are stocks that rank within the bottom 20% of the filtered selection universe based on any one of the following factors:
     
    • Trailing P/E ratio (highest are excluded)
    • Trailing price/sales ratio (highest are excluded)
    • Per-share profit change for the previous quarter (lowest are excluded)
    • Operating profit margin (lowest are excluded)
    • Six-month total return (lowest are excluded)

Individual securities for which financial ratios or return data are not available are not subjected to the corresponding screens. Accordingly, such securities will not be excluded from the index merely because such data is not available. The index composition is reviewed annually, in August. Shares and float factors are updated quarterly, in March, June, September and December.

The Dow Jones Select Microcap Enhanced Index Strategy Portfolio Selection Criteria:
Beginning with the stocks in the DJSM Index this strategy excludes from consideration the DJSM Index's smallest 2% of stocks based on market cap. The strategy then selects 50 stocks from the remaining stocks within the DJSM Index with the highest score, based on the following screens:

  • EPS Surprise Last Quarter
  • Operating Income Change Last Quarter
  • Price/Free Cash Flow Ratio
  • EBITDA Margin
  • Gross Margin
  • Total Return for the Past Six Months

The strategy assigns each stock a rank score for each of these categories with the lowest score being 1 and the highest score being the total number of stocks in the Dow Jones Select MicroCap Index. The strategy ranks the remaining stocks by total score and selects the top 50 stocks. If two stocks are assigned the same total score, the stock with the higher score for Total Return for the Past Six Months is ranked higher.

A stock will be excluded and such stock will be replaced with the stock with the next highest total score if, based on publicly available information as of the selection date, the company is the target of an announced business acquisition which the Sponsor expects will close within six months of the date of the prospectus.

1 The Historical 12 Month Distributions figure is for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of the trust's actual distributions. For a trust deposited after April 1, 2019, and effective July 31, 2019 for all other trusts, this per unit amount is based upon the weighted average of the actual distributions paid by the securities included in the trust over the 12 months preceding the trust's deposit date, and is reduced to account for the effects of fees and expenses which will be incurred when investing in the trust. The Historical 12 Month Distributions figure is as of the date listed in the prospectus during the trust's initial offering period, and is updated each calendar quarter following the close of the trust's initial offering period. Due to the negative economic impact across many industries caused by the recent COVID-19 outbreak, certain issuers of the securities included in the trust have elected or may elect to reduce the amount of, or cancel entirely, dividends and/or distributions paid in the future. As a result, the Historical 12 Month Distributions figure will likely be higher, and in some cases significantly higher, than the actual distribution rate achieved by the trust. There is no guarantee the issuers of the securities included in the trust will declare dividends or distributions in the future. The distributions paid by the trust may be higher or lower than the Historical 12 Month Distributions amount shown due to certain factors that may include, but are not limited to, a change in the dividends or distributions paid by issuers, actual expenses incurred, currency fluctuations, the sale of trust securities to pay any deferred sales charges, trust fees and expenses, variations in the trust's per unit price, or with the call, maturity or the sale of securities in the trust.

2 As of the close of business day prior to Initial Date of Deposit. The actual distributions you may receive will vary from any historical or estimated amount due to changes in the trust's fees and expenses, in actual income received by the trust, currency fluctuations and with changes in the trust such as acquisition or liquidation of securities. Distributions made by certain securities in the trust may include non-ordinary income.

  The trust will make distributions of income and capital on each specified Distribution Date to unitholders of record on the preceding Record Date, provided that the total cash held for distribution meets or exceeds any applicable minimum that may be specified in the prospectus. Undistributed income and capital will be distributed on the next Distribution Date in which the total cash held for distribution meets or exceeds any applicable minimum that may be specified in the prospectus.

  The trust may make distributions that represent a return of capital for tax purposes to the extent of the Unitholder's basis in the Units, and any additional amounts in excess of basis would be taxed as a capital gain. Generally, you will treat all capital gains dividends as long-term capital gains regardless of how long you have owned your Units. Unitholders should consult with their individual tax advisors.


About risk

There is no assurance the trust will achieve its investment objective. An investment in this unit investment trust is subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the trust will decline and that the value of trust units may therefore be less than what you paid for them. Recently, an outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has spread globally in a short period of time, resulting in the disruption of, and delays in, production and supply chains and the delivery of healthcare services and processes, as well as the cancellation of organized events and educational institutions, quarantines, a decline in consumer demand for certain goods and services, and general concern and uncertainty. COVID-19 and its effects have contributed to increased volatility in global markets, severe losses, liquidity constraints, and lowered yields. The duration of such effects cannot yet be determined but could be present for an extended period of time and may adversely affect the value of your Units. This trust is unmanaged and its portfolio is not intended to change during the trust's life except in limited circumstances. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this trust.

The trust should be considered as a part of a long-term investment strategy and you should consider your ability to pursue it by investing in successive trusts, if available. You will realize tax consequences associated with investing from one series to the next.

Stocks of micro-cap companies are often more volatile than those of larger companies as a result of several factors such as limited trading volumes, products or financial resources, management inexperience and less publicly available information.

This trust is concentrated in the consumer products and retail sector. Companies that manufacture and distribute consumer products face risks such as intense competition, the lack of serious barriers to entry for on-line entrants, economic recession and a slowdown in consumer spending trends.

The performance data quoted for the individual series of a trust that has not terminated or has an open termination date is from the deposit date through the current date quoted. For individual series that have terminated, performance data quoted is from the deposit date through the termination date.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Returns are cumulative total returns (not annualized) unless labeled as average annual total returns. All returns reflect trust expenses as incurred and assume reinvestment of income and principal distributions, except for trusts that do not offer the option of reinvesting distributions into additional trust units. Please see the related trust prospectus for additional information. Returns do not reflect taxes.

A trust's performance, especially for short time periods, should not be the sole factor in making your investment decision. Please keep in mind that high, double-digit returns are highly unusual and cannot be sustained. Investors should also be aware that these returns were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions.

Returns With Sales Charge reflect the maximum sales charge that would be payable by an investor upon sale or redemption of units at the end of the applicable period(s). The sales charge includes any initial or deferred sales charges other than creation and development fee. These returns do not reflect any creation and development fee prior to collection (generally the close of the initial offering period). Any creation and development fee is reflected in the returns as of the time of payment. by a trust. These returns reflect any contingent deferred sales charges only if the charges would be payable upon a unit sale or redemption at or prior to the end of the applicable performance period(s). Certain trusts are no longer offered for sale to the public and, as a result, do not publish an offer price or have a sales charge. In these cases, returns will not reflect a sales charge if a trust was not actually offered for sale to the public on the first day of the applicable period because units of the trust could not have been purchased by an investor at that time. These returns will show 'N/A' for With Sales Charge data

Returns Without Sales Charge do not reflect any sales charge and do not reflect any creation and development fee prior to collection (generally the close of the initial offering period). Any creation and development fee is reflected in the returns as of the time of payment by a trust.

The above graph represents a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the trust strategy (not any actual trust) and the associated benchmark over the period indicated in the graph. The graph assumes the sum of the initial investment ($10,000) and all dividends (including those on stocks trading ex-dividend as of the last day of the year) and appreciation during a year are reinvested at the end of that year.

All strategy performance is hypothetical (not any actual trust) and reflects trust sales charges (full sales charge in first year of 2.95% and reduced rollover charge thereafter of 1.95%) and expenses but not brokerage commissions on stocks or taxes. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Actual returns will vary from hypothetical strategy returns due to timing differences and because the trust may not be invested equally in all stocks or be fully invested at all times. In any given year the strategy may lose money or underperform the index. Returns are calculated by taking year-end prices, subtracting them from the prices at the end of the following year (adjusting for any stock splits that might have occurred during the year) and adding dividends received for the period divided by starting price. Average annual total return and total return measure change in the value of an investment plus dividends, assuming quarterly reinvestment of dividends. Average annual total return reflects annualized change while total return reflects aggregate change and is not annualized. Standard deviation is a measure of volatility that represents the degree to which an investment's performance has varied from its average performance over a particular period. Standard deviation does not compare the volatility of an investment relative to other investments or the overall stock market. The more an investment's return varies from the investment's average return, the more volatile the investment. Standard deviation is based on past performance and is no guarantee of future results.

Please keep in mind that high, double-digit and/or triple-digit returns are highly unusual and cannot be sustained. Investors should also be aware that these returns were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions.

Indices are statistical composites and their returns do not include payment of any sales charges or fees an investor would pay to purchase the securities they represent. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The historical performance of the indices are shown for illustrative purposes only; it is not meant to forecast, imply or guarantee the future performance of any particular investment or the trust, which will vary.
