Our read on BKMC

ETF.net Research

In short

AAbout 400 US mid-caps for four basis points, from BNY Mellon's cut-rate ETF shelf. The fee undercuts most of the mid-cap field; the trade-off is a thinner tape than the household names.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks to track the Solactive GBS United States 400 Index TR.

Why people hold it

  • Costs 0.04% a year, well under the 0.15% median for US mid-cap funds and level with the cheapest of the big index shops (IMCB).
  • Tracks the Solactive GBS United States 400 Index tightly, with roughly 400 names spreading single-stock risk across the whole mid-cap band.
  • Straight index core equity in a standard 1940 Act fund: one benchmark, no sector tilts, quarterly distributions.

Worth knowing

  • Thinly traded next to the mid-cap heavyweights, which tends to mean wider bid-ask spreads and more price impact on big orders.
  • Launched in 2020, so the live track record is short compared with mid-cap index funds that have run for decades.
  • VO and SCHM shave another basis point off the fee and carry far heavier trading, so the cost edge here is about matching the field, not leading it.
