Our read on CGMM
BCapital Group's stock-pickers turned loose on the Russell 2500: roughly 90 U.S. small and mid caps instead of thousands, at a fee below the typical active U.S. equity ETF.
Seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in small- and mid-capitalization U.S. companies.
Why people hold it
- At 0.51%, it undercuts the 0.65% median for active U.S. equity ETFs, and comes in cheaper than NBSM (0.75%), another fund measured against the Russell 2500.
- Roughly 90 holdings against a benchmark that spans thousands of names. A genuine stock-picking portfolio, not an index tracker wearing an active label.
- A 2025 launch that already runs at multi-billion-dollar size and trades actively, and it sits in the upper tier of its active U.S. equity peer group.
Worth knowing
- It opened in January 2025, so there is no full market cycle yet to judge the managers' results against the Russell 2500.
- Small and mid caps move harder than large caps, and a roughly 90-stock active book can wander well away from the benchmark in either direction.
- Cheap for active, not cheap outright: broad index-style peers like DFAU (0.12%) and active FFSM (0.43%) charge less.
