Our read on CZA
CA stock picker in index clothing: about 100 mid-caps chosen by a Zacks quant screen instead of the whole segment. Running since 2007, and the 0.69% fee is the price of that opinion.
The fund seeks to track the Zacks Mid-Cap Core Index by investing at least 90% of its assets in securities included in that index.
Why people hold it
- Rules-based but opinionated. The Zacks Mid-Cap Core Index screens down to roughly 100 names, so the basket genuinely looks different from a cap-weighted mid-cap fund.invesco.com
- The mandate is tight: at least 90% of assets sit in the named index, so this is a quant screen in an index wrapper, not open-ended manager discretion.invesco.com
- Launched in 2007 under Invesco, it has run the same strategy through the financial crisis and every market since. Long track records are rare among rules-based screens.invesco.com
- It stays close to the index it advertises, so what you read in the methodology is broadly what you own.
Worth knowing
- Cost is the headline trade-off. At 0.69%, this sits far above plain mid-cap trackers such as VO and SCHM at 0.03%. That gap comes out of returns every year, screen or no screen.
- Thinly traded and modest in size, so bid-ask spreads are a bigger slice of your real cost here than with the giant mid-cap funds.
- About 100 holdings means individual names swing the fund more than in a broad index holding several hundred. Concentration cuts both directions.
