Our methodology is informed by TrimTabs Investment Research’s 25 years of experience delivering proprietary research, as well as conducting real-time analysis of equity market liquidity, free cash flow, and macroeconomic trends.
When it comes to investing, we’re always looking for high-performing, quality companies. It’s become notoriously difficult to parse corporate earnings reports, attempting to make sense of balance sheets and income statements, which can be subject to financial engineering. This is why we focus on one of the most important and reliable financial metrics there is: free cash flow.
Performance may sometimes come at a premium, but at TrimTabs, it is our firm belief that investors should be able to access alpha-oriented strategies that aim to outperform the broad market without paying high management fees.

There is no guarantee that TTAC will achieve its investment objective. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Because the Fund is an ETF (rather than a mutual fund), shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV, and are not individually redeemable. Owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Fund and tender those shares for redemption to the Fund in Creation Unit aggregations only, consisting of 25,000 shares. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Investments in the Fund include risks associated with small-and mid-cap securities, which involve limited liquidity and greater volatility than large-cap securities.
