Abacus FCF International Leaders 

The Abacus FCF International Leaders ETF (ABLG) strives to surpass the performance of the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA, a comprehensive global equity benchmark excluding the United States, through an actively managed investment approach. Its fundamental methodology employs a quantitative model to evaluate and rank stocks based on unique, proprietary free cash flow measurements. Companies are systematically excluded if they carry substantial debt, utilize borrowed capital for share repurchases, or do not adhere to specific environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards. From the remaining pool, around 150 of the top-ranked equities are chosen. These selected holdings are then weighted using a modified market capitalization strategy, which integrates free cash flow data and applies a logarithmic transformation. Although operating within a clearly defined, rules-based framework, TTAI's portfolio managers maintain considerable discretionary authority. Historical Context: Before May 29, 2020, the fund's strategy primarily focused on share buyback patterns, with further adjustments to its methodology taking effect on March 1, 2021. On November 18, 2020, its name transitioned from TrimTabs All Cap International Free-Cash-Flow ETF to TrimTabs International Free Cash Flow Quality ETF, a title it held until November 29, 2021. Additionally, prior to November 13, 2024, the fund was recognized as FCF International Quality ETF and traded under the ticker symbol TTAI.
