The RevenueShares Financials Sector Fund™ is comprised of the same securities as the S&P 500® Financials Index. Rather than being ranked by market capitalization, RevenueShares Financials Sector Fund™ employs a patent-pending investment methodology to rank stocks by annual revenue. Revenue is an all-inclusive metric that is less prone to manipulation and inherently resists a growth or value bias. The S&P 500® Financials Index is a stock market index comprised of large cap companies that Standard & Poor's deems to be part of the Financials sector of the U.S. economy, using Global Industry Classification Standard.
Using a rules-based strategy, born of the latest research and applied to traditional market indexes, RevenueShares™ employs the diversification and flexibility of one of the market's most advantageous investment vehicles - the Exchange Traded Fund. The Fund is rebalanced annually. Backtesting is provided by Standard & Poor's®.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The RevenueShares Financials Sector Index™ returns are historical and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Index returns became publicly available on 11/10/2008 and performance shown prior to this date is based on hypothetical backtested performance which is a calculation of how the index would have performed in the past had it existed. Hypothetical backtested performance has inherent limitations, does not reflect actual market activity and is not indicative of future results. Index returns shown are not reflective of the Funds performance nor reflect fees and expenses applicable to the Funds. One cannot invest directly in an index.

One way of measuring risk is looking at how much a fund falls when the market makes a down move (the downside capture) and the amount a fund goes up in an up market (the upside capture). The chart above shows that historically the Index has gone up more than its benchmark in an up market and down less than the benchmark in a down market. Past performance is no indication of future results.

Price to book ratio is the ratio of a stock's latest closing price divided by its book value per share. Book value is the total assets of a company minus total liabilities. Price to earnings ratio is the value of a company's stock price relative to company earnings. Return on equity (ROE) is the rate of investment return a company earns on shareholders' equity. An indicator of profitability, ROE is determined by dividing net income from the past 12 months by shareholders' equity.
The Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the risk-adjusted return of an investment. Standard deviation indicates the volatility of a fund's total return. In general, the higher the standard deviation, the greater the volatility of return. Average market cap is the sum of the market caps of each company in an index divided by the number of companies in that index. Beta is the measure of the Fund's relative volatility as compared to the S&P 500® Financials Index. A beta above 1 is more volatile, while a beta below 1 is less volatile.
