Under typical market conditions, it dedicates at least 80% of its net assets (along with any capital borrowed for investment) to securities found within the index, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that replicate the index, or other financial instruments engineered to provide amplified daily exposure to either the index or its corresponding ETFs. The S&P SmallCap 600® Index itself monitors the performance of 600 U.S. companies with smaller market capitalizations, utilizing a float-adjusted market capitalization weighting scheme.
