Our read on CDIG
DA go-anywhere global stock picker from a boutique shop, launched in 2025 into a cohort ruled by cheap systematic giants. Active, unconstrained, 0.75%, and still writing its first chapter.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- No index to hug. The mandate is capital appreciation from stocks anywhere in the world, so the manager can move across regions without a benchmark leash.
- One ticker for the whole equity map: US and non-US in a single holding instead of bolting together separate regional funds.
- Plain plumbing. A registered 1940 Act ETF with no structural flags on file, meaning a 1099 at tax time rather than a K-1.
Worth knowing
- The fee is 0.75%, above the median for active global equity and several times what systematic peers charge, such as GSWO at 0.15% and DFAW at 0.24%.
- It launched in September 2025, so the track record is thin. There is a prospectus to read, not years of results to weigh.
- Small and lightly traded, which usually means wider bid/ask spreads. Limit orders and steering clear of the opening and closing minutes are standard practice here.
