Top Value Stocks To Watch For 2014

This Spin-off ETF mimics the Beacon Spin-off Index, which tracks companies spun off from a parent company within the past 30 months; the ETF has trounced the S&P 500 since its inception in May 2006, observes Nicholas Vardy in the Alpha Investor Letter.

A spin-off can be the distribution of stock of a subsidiary company by its parent-to-parent company's shareholders. It can be also an equity carve-out, or partial initial public offering in which a parent company sells a percentage of the equity of a subsidiary to public shareholders.

The objective of a spin-off is to unlock hidden value. Indeed, research confirms that spin-offs generally outperform their parents and are profitable, both in terms of operating cash flow, and outside investor returns.

The performance of the Guggenheim Spin-Off ETF (CSD) may also be boosted by another unrelated, but equally powerful, concept—the small-cap effect.
