VictoryShares Free Cash Flow ETF

VFLO tracks an index composed of the largest U.S. companies based on profit that are perceived to have strong free cash flow yields and high growth metrics.

In the entertainment industry, there's a term known as “Hollywood accounting.” It is the practice of manipulating how profitable (or unprofitable) a movie, show, or record album is through creative bookkeeping methods.

Use Free Cash Flow to Avoid Hollywood Accounting

It's important to remember that many of today's best-performing growth stocks were once unfavorable value stocks. It wasn't that long ago that these companies had fallen out of favor with investors.

Target Future Strong Growth Companies With Free Cash Flow

Growth indexes may not necessarily be the best way to find the next growth leaders. When seeking stocks with the greatest growth potential, their future free cash flow (FCF) may be a more successful metric than relying solely on an index's criteria for inclusion.

Hi VettaFi Voices, we are heading toward the last week of the Q2 earnings season. Now seems like a good time to assess how things have gone so far and what we can expect from next week.

VettaFi Voices On: The Coming End of Earnings Season

VFLO is a newly-launched free cash flow yield ETF that incorporates forward-looking metrics estimates into the selection process. Fees are 0.39%, and AUM is up to $54 million. Trailing and forward free cash flow figures combine to generate expected free cash flow. Like COWZ, VFLO's valuation metrics are excellent. It currently trades at 11.88x forward earnings. However, VFLO only holds 50 stocks compared to 100 for COWZ and FLOW, another free cash flow ETF just launched by Global X.

Economic data seems all over the place. GDP is up 2.4% for the second quarter, a bigger increase than we saw in the first quarter.

VettaFi Voices On: Conflicting Economic Data

My family uses the ZEUS investing strategy of 33% ETFs, 33% hedges, and 33% individual stocks, offering the ideal combination of market-level (or better) returns with 50% lower volatility. I'm constantly hunting for the best ETFs, which compose the core of my family's 67% stock/33% hedges portfolio. COWZ is the gold standard of Buffett-style deep-value ETFs. COWZ utilizes Buffett's favorite valuation metric, free cash flow yield, which over 32 years, delivered the best returns with the least volatility.

COWZ Vs. VFLO: We Might Have A New King Of Buffett-Style ETFs

Free cash flow (FCF) is arguably a better metric than earnings or income to gauge a company's value. However, it's the company's future FCF, not its trailing FCF, that really matters.
