A “Spin-Off” is a company that the parent will spin off to shareholders. Shareholders usually sell spinoffs in a portfolio. They look at it as a gift and don’t really spend a lot of time looking at the company itself. This ETF buys companies that have been spun off in the past 30 months but not in the previous 6 months.

This has been one of the stronger performing ETFs. Spinoffs tend to do well because very often management groups set up spinoffs for success.
