Open interest is distinct from volume: volume counts how many contracts are traded in a session, while open interest counts how many remain open at the end of the day. Rising SMLL options open interest alongside rising volume suggests new positions are being built, while falling open interest signals positions are being closed. Heavy open interest at specific strikes often acts as a magnet near expiration and can hint at where dealers and large traders expect Harbor Active Small Cap ETF to settle.
SMLL focuses on long-term total return through investments in US small capitalization companies that fall within the Russell 2000 Index. Employing a proprietary bottom-up analysis, SMLL selects approximately 30 to 80 companies based on competitive advantages, strong business models, and consistent cash flow. The selection process involves metrics like Price to Free Cash Flow, Return on Invested Capital, and insider share purchases. The Fund also analyzes a companys competitive position and assesses management's ability to allocate capital effectively. Regular valuation analysis is conducted to determine a stock's intrinsic value and assess whether it is trading at a discount.
SMLL may divest from certain holdings if there are shifts in fundamentals, market overvaluation, or when better investment opportunities arise.
