IWC invests in the 1400 most academically risky stocks around - microcaps. The 3-Factor model of the University of Chicago's Eugene Fama and Dartmouth's Ken French says that over the long term microcaps should outperform large caps as compensation for risk.

Smaller companies are riskier, thereof investors discount their cash-flows to reflect that risk.

The investment strategy behind this ETF utilizes flaws in the efficient market hypothesis (unexplained micro-cap outperformance relative to large caps) to earn excess returns over passively and actively managed peers at the same risk and volatility levels. By owning this stock, you will earn higher returns, on average over time, and can only be outperformed in the long-run by blind luck.
