EVX offers a small and highly concentrated portfolio of environmental services firms that differs from the market, especially regarding global coverage, as its portfolio is allocated heavily to US companies. EVX holds 30 waste management companies that it weights in 3 tiers. It allocates 10% of its portfolio to each of the 4 biggest companies by market cap, 2% to each of the 5 smallest, and splits the remaining 50% of its portfolio equally among the remaining issues. This causes the fund to tilt smaller than the market at large over 15% of its portfolio is in micro-caps, compared to 4% of our benchmark. The index is rebalanced and reconstituted on a quarterly basis.
