Our read on ESSC

ETF.net Research

In short

CEventide takes its values-based screen down the market cap ladder: an active, long-only US small-cap portfolio measured against the Bloomberg U.S. 2000, at 0.49%. Launched in 2025, so the screen is the pitch, not the history.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by primarily investing in U.S. small-cap companies that Eventide identifies as creating value for stakeholders under its values-based screening criteria. It is actively managed using a long-only approach.

Why people hold it

  • The screen is the point. An active, long-only manager buying US small caps it judges to be creating value for stakeholders, not an index fund with a label bolted on.
  • 0.49% a year for hands-on small-cap stock picking, a shade under the middle of its actively managed small-cap peer group.
  • Four signals in the mix (growth, momentum, quality, value) rather than a single style bet, with the Bloomberg U.S. 2000 Total Return Index as the yardstick.

Worth knowing

  • Opened in late September 2025, so there is very little performance or risk history behind it yet.
  • Still a small, lightly traded fund, which can mean wider gaps between bid and ask than the household names in the small-cap aisle.
  • At 0.49% it runs about double systematic small-cap peers such as AVUV and AVSC at 0.25%, so the screen has to carry that gap.
