Our read on BCTK

ETF.net Research

CBaron made its name picking growth stocks and holding on. BCTK is that playbook in an ETF wrapper: an actively chosen, global technology portfolio built around companies the manager thinks have durable growth, not whatever an index prints.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. and non-U.S. technology companies selected for durable growth potential associated with technological development and use.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Genuinely global tech mandate. The manager can own non-US names alongside US ones, so the portfolio isn't fenced into the usual American megacap roster.
  2. 02A narrow, legible job: capital appreciation from technology companies picked for durable growth. You know exactly what you own and exactly what to judge it against.
  3. 03High-conviction active management, not a closet index. Stock selection, not index weights, drives what's in the portfolio.
  4. 04Live since a December 2021 launch, so there's a real track record to inspect rather than a backtest.

Worth knowing

  1. 010.75% a year is the price of the stock picker, and it sits above the typical active US equity ETF. The picks have to clear that bar.
  2. 02Thinly traded next to the index giants. Spreads can widen, so how you place the order matters more here than in a mega-fund.
  3. 03One sector, concentrated. Against active US equity peers it lands in the bottom quartile on our overall read, with cost and volatility the main drags.
