Our read on BOUT
FAn index fund for the chart-watching crowd: BOUT follows the IBD Breakout Stocks Index, a roughly 50-stock growth screen drawn from Investor's Business Daily's Composite Ranking, wrapped in a plain vanilla ETF.
The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the IBD Breakout Stocks Index. It normally invests at least 80% of net assets in the Index’s equity securities and generally holds them in index weights.
Why people hold it
- Rules first, hunches never: it tracks the IBD Breakout Stocks Index and holds the names at index weights, with at least 80% of net assets in them.
- About 50 holdings, screened on IBD's Composite Ranking, so a growth name actually moves the fund instead of vanishing inside a thousand-stock benchmark.
- Trading since 2018 as a standard 1940 Act ETF, so the screen has run through a multi-year stretch of markets under one published mandate.
Worth knowing
- 0.80% a year is active-fund pricing on an index product. The broad trackers it competes with (SCHK, VOOV and company) charge a sliver of that, and BOUT sits in the group's lower tier on cost.
- Small asset base, light trading. Spreads can run wide, so how you enter and exit matters more here than with a mega-cap index fund.
- A concentrated growth screen rides rougher than a total-market fund, and cash comes back once or twice a year rather than quarterly.
