EQRR aims to outperform during periods of rising interest rates, expecting underperformance when interest rates fall. Each quarter, the index identifies five sectors with the strongest weekly correlation to the 10-year US Treasury rate over the last three years. The highest correlated sector receives 30% weight, with the remaining four sectors weighted at 25%, 20%, 15%, and 10%. Each sector is represented by 10 equally weighted stocks that are selected for their own interest rate sensitivity. Though the fund typically selects from the 500 largest US-listed firms, it can dip into midcaps if there are fewer than 10 stocks qualified in a sector. The index constituents are rebalanced quarterly.
