TTFS Will Utilize TrimTabs' Liquidity-Based Investing Strategies
September 9, 2011--AdvisorShares Investments, LLC, a sponsor of actively managed Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), announced today that the TrimTabs Float Shrink ETF will open for trading on Wednesday, October 5, 2011. The portfolio management team of TTFS is a part of TrimTabs Asset Management ("TrimTabs").
TTFS' investment objective is based on TrimTabs proprietary research, which measures the change in float shrink (net change in number of shares outstanding), the change in free cash flow (after tax income + non cash charges - capital expenditures) and net debt issuance. The strategy selects the top 100 U.S. stocks based upon float shrink, free cash flow growth and net equity ratios from the largest 3,000 U.S. based companies. Those 100 stocks are then equally weighted and periodically reallocated and rebalanced as corporate metrics change. TrimTabs believes that companies who are not borrowing more, and are growing free cash flow and using that cash to shrink the trading float of shares could outperform.
Opening Statement by Commissioner Scott D. O’Malia: Open Meeting on Proposed Rulemakings on Implementation of Mandatory Clearing, Trading, Documentation and Margining Rules
September 8, 2011--Mr. Chairman, I would like to begin by thanking you for scheduling this hearing to discuss the important issue of implementation of our Dodd-Frank rulemakings. I would also like to thank the team responsible for preparing the two proposals before us.
I understand that these proposals aim to provide greater certainty to the market as to when the Commission will impose the clearing and trading mandates, as well as when the Commission will require compliance with certain documentation and margining rules. I am grateful that the Commission has attempted to provide more certainty. However, I fear that the market will find that these proposals raise more questions than they answer. These proposals fail to facilitate a transition to the new regulatory regime in the orderly manner that the market – as well as the Commission – desires.
