LeaderShares AlphaFactor US Core Equity ETF

LSAF

Market cap $119M

LSAF employs a multifactor strategy focusing on buybacks, free cash flow growth, and debt/asset ratio, resulting in a diversified portfolio. The fund offers solid value metrics without sacrificing growth, but lags behind a benchmark and single-factor ETFs in risk-adjusted performance. LSAF suffers from high volatility, deep drawdowns, and a high expense ratio and turnover among peers, diminishing its appeal for investors.
