Our read on CGGR
BOld-line active stock picking, delivered in an ETF shell. It hunts capital appreciation across roughly a hundred companies and charges 0.39% a year, undercutting most active US equity ETFs. Live since 2022 and already a multi-billion-dollar fund.
The fund seeks growth of capital by investing in a broad group of companies that appear to offer opportunities for capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- 0.39% a year for active management, well under the typical active US equity ETF fee.
- Roughly a hundred holdings: real stock picking, not an index in disguise, without betting the farm on a handful of names.
- The portfolio matches its stated growth-of-capital mandate closely, and it stands in the upper tier of a crowded active US equity field.
- Multi-billion-dollar asset base and steady trading volume, so spreads tend to stay manageable for everyday orders.
Worth knowing
- Growth mandates swing harder than the broad market. Drawdowns here have historically run deeper than a plain total-market fund.
- Cheap for active, not cheap outright: systematic peers like DFAU (0.12%) and AVLC (0.15%) cost a fraction of it.
- Distributions come annually or semiannually, and the mandate allows international names alongside US stocks.
