Our read on ATFV
BRoughly 35 stocks, no index, no hedging the bet. Alger hands one active team its best ideas in the most disrupted corners of the US market and lets conviction do the talking, priced under the typical disruption fund.
The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed portfolio of approximately 35 stocks selected as the manager’s best ideas in highly disrupted market segments.
Why people hold it
- 0.55% a year, below the 0.65% median for disruptive-innovation funds. Active conviction usually costs extra in this category. Here it doesn't.
- A genuine best-ideas book: about 35 US stocks the manager picks in highly disrupted market segments, not an index screen wearing an active label.
- Among the stronger implementations in its disruptive-innovation peer group, and moderately traded for a fund of its size.
- Live since 2021 in a standard 1940 Act ETF wrapper, so the plumbing is the same as any plain-vanilla stock fund.
Worth knowing
- About 35 names means a single stock can move the whole portfolio. Concentrated by design, which cuts both directions.
- Cheaper than the category median, but index-run rivals undercut it: KOMP at 0.20%, XT at 0.46%. The gap pays for a human making the calls.
- The mandate is US stocks, so disruptors listed overseas sit outside the net.
