Growth factors include expected and past earnings growth, sales growth over recent years, investment relative to assets, and return on assets. Value factors are valuation measures such as price to book, price to earnings and dividend yield. Each company gets a position between the two poles. Stocks in the middle are assigned partly to both styles instead of being forced into one, which keeps them from moving back and forth between the funds."},{"type":"paragraph","text":"Although the index does not select by industry, much of the money ends up in technology and internet companies, because they meet the growth measures most clearly.
