FCPI is marketed as an "inflation-friendly" ETF, but it's actually an extremely strong multi-factor fund in disguise. This article proves that by presenting a comprehensive set of its latest fundamentals. Its Index follows a rules-based approach twice-annually to tilt toward certain sectors and industries thought to perform well in inflationary environments, including Energy, Consumer Staples, and Railroads.
