About the ETF
Following a core investment philosophy that corporate insiders know their companies the best, the AdvisorShares Insider Advantage ETF (SURE) seeks to invest in the equities of companies actively trying to reduce their public equity float through well-executed stock buyback programs and corporate insider buying. Not only do buybacks and insider buying demonstrate that executives may see relative value in the firm’s stock, they also could create favorable shareholder market conditions through the reduction of publicly available shares (float shrink). SURE selects holdings using an active, quantitative, multi-factor model to identify companies shrinking float, lowering leverage, growing free cash flow, and providing dividends. SURE’s holdings are equal-weighted and reconstituted/rebalanced monthly.
What Is Float Shrink?
Public equity float refers to the portion of a company’s outstanding shares that is in the hands of public investors – as opposed to company officers, directors, or stockholders that hold controlling interests – and are available for trading in the open market. The float is calculated by subtracting restricted shares from outstanding shares. Float shrink occurs when there is a reduction of publicly available shares.
Buybacks – action taken by a corporation to repurchase its own shares from the marketplace – are the most common cause of float shrink today and one of two ways a company can distribute profits to shareholders. Dividend payments are the second form. While firms may implement both, since 1997, share buybacks have surpassed cash dividends to become the dominant form of corporate payout in the U.S. Not only do buybacks avoid a stock price penalty if a firm cuts or ends a program, like dividends are subject to, but also provide a positive market impact by improving earnings and cash flow per share.
Insider buying – the purchase of shares in a corporation by a board member, officer, or executive within that company (i.e., corporate insider) – is another way that float shrink occurs. It may be a strong indicator that insiders are becoming more optimistic about the company’s future. Buying by corporate insiders is legal, highly regulated, publicly disclosed, and different from “insider trading” – the illegal act of buying or selling stock by someone who has privileged, non-public information about a company.
Why Invest?
- Investing with Corporate Insiders – Top firm executives know more about the company’s fundamentals than the investing public. These insiders can influence their company’s share price by timing equity issuance and repurchase to the firm’s advantage. A well-implemented buyback program reduces publicly available shares and can increase the stock’s price. Additionally, corporate insider buying can be a bullish signal that the stock is underpriced by the market.
- Conscientious Float Shrink – Investing solely in stock buybacks can be problematic. SURE employs a comprehensive, multi-factor strategy to assess if a firm is reducing their float in a well-planned manner, analyzing free cash flow, profitability, leverage reduction, dividend yield, net buybacks and insider buying.
- Disciplined Growth – A quantitative, actively managed, equal weight investment strategy focused on long-term growth.
Key Attributes
- Float Shrink – Corporate insiders have better information than the investing public and know their companies the best. Stock buyback programs and insider buying not only show that corporate insiders see relative value in investing in their own equity securities, but also create favorable market conditions for shareholders by reducing the number of publicly traded shares and improving earnings and cash flow per share.
- Extensive Stock Screening – SURE’s portfolio manager screens approximately 3,000 companies and looks for the following characteristics when selecting stocks: shareholder-friendliness (measured by float shrink and dividend yield), profitability (measured by free cash flow), solid balance sheet (measured by outstanding leverage).
- Equal Weight Investing – In a market-cap weighted portfolio, a small number of the largest companies receive the heaviest allocations and overvalued components are overweighted relative to undervalued components. By contrast, with an equal weight strategy, the bias to the largest companies is removed; a buy low, sell high discipline is regularly followed with periodic rebalancing; and reallocation to undervalued stocks may provide the opportunity to capture long-term equity performance.
- Actively Managed ETF Structure – SURE is different from other buyback-focused investments that follow passive, market-cap weighted indexes and only reconstitute annually. SURE re-evaluates its investable universe and existing holdings monthly – adding or removing stocks and returning each security to an equal-weight allocation – allowing SURE to react more quickly to changes in buyback programs, acquisition announcements, etc. An ETF structure allows for better tax efficiency than mutual funds or than investing in the underlying stocks directly.
Where Can SURE Fit in a Traditional Portfolio?
SURE can serve as a thematic investment or a complement to a dividend investing or market-cap weighted core strategy.

- Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained by visiting the Fund’s website at www.AdvisorShares.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest. Foreside Fund Services, LLC, Distributor.
- The Fund’s investment focus follows a core philosophy that corporate insiders know their companies best. The Advisor believes that insider buying and stock buyback programs not only show that corporate insiders see relative value in investing in their own company’s equity securities, but also create favorable market conditions by reducing public equity float (i.e., the share supply available to investors on the public secondary market). The Advisor allocates the Fund’s portfolio using research from a disciplined and quantitative proprietary model, the U.S. Insiders Edge Model, developed by Qubed Capital, LLC. In utilizing the model, the Advisor seeks to remove emotion from day-to-day decision-making by following a systematic process.
- The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in a portfolio of U.S. traded companies selected from a universe of the largest 3,000 U.S. equity securities based on market capitalization. When models and data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon expose the Fund to potential risks. In addition, the use of predictive models has inherent risk.
