Overview

The Morningstar Wide Moat Barclays VC Index selects U.S. stocks that have been assigned a “Wide MOAT” ratings by Morningstar, which seeks to identify companies with a long-term competitive advantage in their respective industry. The selected stocks are then combined with a portfolio of four Barclays US Treasury Futures indices. The Index seeks to enhance return and manage its risk exposure by adjusting the portfolio’s asset allocation on a monthly basis using techniques from Modern Portfolio Theory, the theory of optimizing expected returns based on a given level of market risk. The Index is a multi-asset class index that aims to provide stable returns across different market environments. To further control risk, the Index adds a volatility control overlay which aims to maintain its annual volatility level at or below 7%.
