Our read on BBLU

ETF.net Research

BActive stock picking at index-fund prices: Bridgeway's blue chip mandate in an ETF wrapper for 0.15% a year, a fraction of what the typical active US equity fund charges.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term total return, primarily through capital appreciation and secondarily through income.

Why people hold it

  1. 010.15% a year against a 0.65% median for active US equity funds. Most stock pickers in this group charge roughly four times as much.
  2. 02Priced level with the cheapest active large-cap peers (AVLC, also 0.15%) and well under factor-rotation rivals like DYNF at 0.26%.
  3. 03One stated job, plainly written: long-term total return, mostly capital appreciation with income second, in US stocks, inside a standard 1940 Act fund.
  4. 04Stands among the stronger active US equity funds in its peer group, with the fee doing much of the heavy lifting.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Moderately traded rather than a tape-topper, so spreads can run wider than on the giant core index funds.
  2. 02Cheap, not the floor. Broad core peers such as DFAU come in at 0.12%.
  3. 03Cash goes out annually or semiannually, not monthly, and income ranks second to appreciation in the mandate.
