Our read on ACLC

ETF.net Research

In short

BAn active large-cap fund that blends growth and value names and folds material sustainability factors into the stock picking, at a fee well below what the typical active US equity fund charges.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term financial returns through an actively managed U.S. large-cap portfolio combining growth and value companies while incorporating material sustainability factors into the investment process.

Why people hold it

  • Costs 0.39% a year against a 0.65% median for active US equity funds. Active management here doesn't start in a fee hole.
  • One mandate, two jobs: a growth-and-value blend of US large caps, with material sustainability factors written into the research process rather than bolted on as a screen.americancentury.com
  • Roughly 100 stocks. Small enough that the managers' picks actually show up in results, not an index wearing an active label.
  • Running since 2020 and pays quarterly. Sits in the top quartile of a crowded active US equity field on our review.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded for an ETF, so the bid-ask spread can be a bigger part of your cost than the expense ratio, especially on larger orders.
  • Cheap it is, cheapest it isn't. Broad systematic rivals like DFAU (0.12%) and AVLC (0.15%) run at roughly a third of the fee.
  • A concentrated book plus sustainability inputs means the portfolio can look meaningfully different from the broad large-cap market in either direction.
