  • The initial index universe is derived from the component companies of the Morningstar US Large-Mid Cap Index.
  • Free cash flow is the cash remaining after a company has paid expenses, interest, taxes, and long-term investments. It can be used to buy back stock, pay dividends, or participate in mergers and acquisitions.
