By way of background, the ETFG Golden Dozen is a global, dynamic index comprised of the top ranked 12 equity ETFs as ranked by the ETF Global (Index Sponsor) Quant model that also meet the liquidity requirement of an average daily trading value of more than $5M per day.  The eligible selection pool includes all U.S. listed, equity ETFs, excluding levered and inverse funds. 

The ETFG Quant model assigns a daily ranking to these relevant products using proprietary algorithms and employing dozens of industry metrics to gauge how likely an equity ETF will outperform the market in the foreseeable future.  Selection for the ETFG Quant Equity 12 Index is performed prior to trading on the third Friday of each month.  The portfolio is equally weighted and reconstitutes monthly on the second trading day following selection.
