Our read on BKDV

ETF.net Research

In short

BBNY Mellon's 2024 swing at active value: roughly 90 hand-picked US stocks, priced below what the typical active equity fund charges. A young fund with a very old asset manager behind it.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and invests principally in common stocks.

Why people hold it

  • At 0.60% a year, it undercuts the 0.65% median for active US equity funds. Not index-cheap, but you aren't paying a premium for the stock picking.
  • Roughly 90 holdings, so every name has to earn its slot. This is a concentrated value book chasing long-term capital appreciation, not a closet index wearing a value label.
  • Sits in the top quartile of its active US equity peer group, helped by downside behavior that has been steadier than most rivals over its short life.
  • Already a billion-dollar-plus fund despite launching in 2024, backed by one of the oldest names in US asset management.

Worth knowing

  • Launched November 2024. The risk picture rests on about a year of live data, and short records tell you less than long ones.
  • Systematic peers cost a fraction of this: DFAU charges 0.12%, AVLC 0.15%. The active premium here is several times their fee.
  • Moderately traded rather than one of the busiest tickers in the category, so spreads can run wider than on big index products.
