Read MoreHide Full Article

The Invesco Russell 2000 Dynamic Multifactor ETF (OMFS - Free Report) was launched on November 8, 2017, and is a passively managed exchange traded fund designed to offer broad exposure to the Small Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.

The fund is sponsored by Invesco. It has amassed assets over $253.64 million, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Small Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.

Why Small Cap Blend

Small cap companies have market capitalization below $2 billion. They usually have higher potential than large and mid cap companies with stocks but higher risk.

Blend ETFs are aptly named, since they tend to hold a mix of growth and value stocks, as well as show characteristics of both kinds of equities.

Costs

Cost is an important factor in selecting the right ETF, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts if all other fundamentals are the same.

Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.39%, putting it on par with most peer products in the space.

It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.02%.

Sector Exposure and Top Holdings

It is important to delve into an ETF's holdings before investing despite the many upsides to these kinds of funds like diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.

This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Financials sector -- about 28.6% of the portfolio. Industrials and Information Technology round out the top three.

Looking at individual holdings, Interdigital Inc (IDCC) accounts for about 0.8% of total assets, followed by Hims & Hers Health Inc (HIMS) and Sterling Infrastructure Inc (STRL).

The top 10 holdings account for about 5.89% of total assets under management.

Performance and Risk
