Investopedia explains 'FTSE RAFI US 1000 Index'

The FTSE RAFI US Index tries to reduce the exposure to overvalued stocks. This is especially true for stocks that have recently seen a seemingly unsustainable increase in price. For example the index will have less exposure to stocks that have seen large increases in price compared to their earnings (called P/E ratio). This lower exposure is compared to a market-cap weighted index.
