Our read on ACSI

ETF.net Research

CMost index funds rank stocks by size or price. This one ranks them by how happy the customers are, turning the long-running American Customer Satisfaction Index survey data into a concentrated basket of roughly 40 US stocks.

Stated mandate

The Fund passively tracks the American Customer Satisfaction Investable Index before fees and expenses. The index selects U.S.-listed companies using customer-satisfaction data and a rules-based methodology.

Why people hold it

  1. 01The screen is survey data, not the balance sheet. Index rules select US-listed companies using customer-satisfaction scores, an input you will not find in a standard value or momentum sort.
  2. 02The data predates the fund by decades. The ACSI has run customer interviews through a University of Michigan econometric model since 1994, covering ten sectors of the US economy.theacsi.orgicpsr.umich.edu
  3. 03Rules-based and passive: the index picks, not a manager's gut. The fund has been running this same mandate since its 2016 launch, so the idea has been tested in live markets.

Worth knowing

  1. 01At 0.65% a year it runs above the 0.45% median for index-tracking funds in its group, and many times the cost of plain broad-market trackers like SCHK at 0.03%.
  2. 02It trades thinly next to mainstream index funds, so spreads can widen and the price on screen can sit away from the value of what is inside.
  3. 03About 40 holdings means each name carries real weight, and a satisfaction screen can land the sector mix well away from a broad US market fund. Distributions come once or twice a year.
