29 Mar Rebalance Announcement for GBDV, GBGR, GBLO
by Justin Lowry, President & CIO, Global Beta Advisors, LLC
In the economic and market climate that we have observed during the first quarter of 2022, we believe balance and valuations are more important now than ever. For the first time in over 3 years, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates. In addition to the formality of increasing the federal funds rate by 25 basis points, they have indicated an intention to raise interest rates further this year to combat some of the highest inflation rates observed in nearly 40 years. As such, we believe this is the beginning of a rising interest rate environment, which is an environment that, through our research, has generally been detrimental to stocks with high valuations, given the increased discount rates on cash flow. We believe that investors who are looking for growth ought to do so in a deliberate and disciplined fashion.
We customize our index-based strategies versus licensing off-the-shelf indexes from major index providers to allow investors to have access to alternative strategies based on our research. Global Beta believes valuations and diversification are important. We believe market cap weighted indexes are counter intuitive to investing – they essentially buy high/sell low. We want to provide investors exposure at the right price, which is why regular rebalancing is critical and why Global Beta rebalances its custom indexes quarterly.
One of the biggest advantages regular rebalancing is that our strategies weight their exposures based on specific fundamentals as opposed to benchmark indices which weight their constituents by market cap. Through our decades of experience, empirical observations, and academic research; we have found that companies with better valuations had outperformed over the long run. In fact, we built a regression analysis that details the monthly points in time of the S&P 500’s price-to-sales ratio and its corresponding 10-year forward looking return.
10 Year Forward Looking
Source: FactSet Research Systems from 1/1/1985 through 12/31/21
As you can see, in the instances where the S&P 500 Index was on the lower end of its price-to-sales ratio spectrum, it had outperformed over the following 10 years versus periods where it was on the higher end of its price-to-sales ratio spectrum. In fact, you’ll notice that when the S&P 500 has eclipsed a price-to-sales ratio of 1.5, it has rarely exceeded a 5% annualized return over the next 10 years.
This is why we design our factor-based indexes around the concept of valuation. Further, while academics continue to identify new factors in the marketplace, we believe yield, growth, and volatility are the 3 main factors that investors need to manage between, particularly over the last 10-15 years. This is why we built our Global Beta Smart Income Index, our FactSet Rising Stars Index, and our Global Beta Low Beta Index, respectively.
The Global Beta Smart Income ETF (“GBDV”), in accordance with our Global Beta Smart Income Index, rebalanced at the close of 03/18/22.
- GBDV rebalances quarterly to align itself with high dividend paying companies at attractive prices on a diversified basis.
- The fund’s rebalance resets its portfolio characteristics to help improve the portfolio’s yield, valuations, and neutralizes sector bias.
- Global Beta’s customization process for this factor seeks to identify high dividend paying companies across every sector and at more attractive valuations.

Current price-to-sales ratio as of 03/18/22. 12-month trailing dividend yield based on price from 03/18/22 and 12-month trailing revenue as of most recently reported fiscal quarter. Price-to-sales takes the company’s current market capitalization and divides by the company’s most recently reported 12-month trailing revenue. Dividend yield is calculated by dividing the dividends paid by the company over the past 12 months into the company’s current market capitalization.
As a reminder, our index methodology contemplates yield across all sectors. While yield for some securities may seem low on an absolute basis, it is actually high among its peers. This allows the index to be more diversified while also delivering the opportunity for a strong yield. The Turnover Recap table is a summary of the characteristics between the securities that were added versus those that were removed.

The Global Beta Rising Stars ETF (“GBGR”), in accordance with our FactSet Rising Stars Index, rebalanced at the close of 03/18/22.
- GBGR rebalances quarterly to align itself with technology companies that are demonstrating the greatest advance in their industries, while trying to avoid companies with extreme valuations.

- Through our customization process, we want to find growth opportunities before they get too expensive.
- In this potential rising interest rate environment, we believe stocks with high valuations are particularly vulnerable.

Price-to-sales takes the company’s current market capitalization and divides by the company’s most recently reported 12-month trailing revenue. Correlation is the relationship between one series of returns and the next with a ratio of 1 implying a perfect relationship and 0 implying no relationship at all. Standard deviation is the variation in returns over a period of time. The S&P 500 is an index of 500 leading companies and covers approximately 80% of available market capitalization.

As a reminder, our methodology contemplates risk based on beta relative to the S&P 500 Index. Therefore, as relative risk changes in the makeup of a particular security in relation to the risk profile of the S&P 500, our index reflects those changes. We believe this allows us to identify securities that are contrarian to the overall market.

GBDV’s primary risks:
Mid-Capitalization Securities Risk
The securities of mid-capitalization companies are often more volatile and less liquid than the stocks of larger companies and may be more affected than other types of securities during market downturns. Compared to larger companies, mid-capitalization companies may have a shorter history of operations, and may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources.
Concentration Risk
To the extent that the Target Fund is concentrated in a particular industry, group of industries or sector, the Fund is also expected to be concentrated in that industry, group of industries or sector, which may subject the Fund to a greater loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments affecting that industry, group of industries or sector.
Dividend-Paying Securities Risk
The Fund’s emphasis on dividend-paying stocks involves the risk that such stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the market. Also, a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend after the Fund’s purchase of such a company’s securities.
Large Capitalization Securities Risk
The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.

Current price-to-sales ratio as of 03/18/22. 12-month trailing dividend yield based on price from 03/18/22 and 12-month trailing revenue as of most recently reported fiscal quarter. Price-to-sales takes the company’s current market capitalization and divides by the company’s most recently reported 12-month trailing revenue. Dividend yield is calculated by dividing the dividends paid by the company over the past 12 months into the company’s current market capitalization.
As a reminder, our index methodology contemplates yield across all sectors. While yield for some securities may seem low on an absolute basis, it is actually high among its peers. This allows the index to be more diversified while also delivering the opportunity for a strong yield. The Turnover Recap table is a summary of the characteristics between the securities that were added versus those that were removed.

Correlation is the relationship between one series of returns and the next with a ratio of 1 implying a perfect relationship and 0 implying no relationship at all. Standard deviation is the variation in returns over a period of time. The S&P 500 is an index of 500 leading companies and covers approximately 80% of available market capitalization.

As a reminder, our methodology contemplates risk based on beta relative to the S&P 500 Index. Therefore, as relative risk changes in the makeup of a particular security in relation to the risk profile of the S&P 500, our index reflects those changes. We believe this allows us to identify securities that are contrarian to the overall market.
