Our read on ACSI
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.
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
- The 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.
- The 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
- Rules-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
- At 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%.
- It 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.
- About 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.
