Our read on FMCE

ETF.net Research

In short

DThe house stock strategy of First Manhattan, the New York firm Sandy Gottesman founded in 1964, in an ETF wrapper: 25 to 35 US companies picked for durable free cash flow. Concentrated by design, 0.71% with no fee waiver.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • First Manhattan, founded in 1964 by early Berkshire Hathaway investor and board member Sandy Gottesman, spent six decades running private-client money before putting this strategy in an ETF.wikipedia.orgwikipedia.org 2
  • A genuine 25 to 35 stock portfolio, not a broad index wearing a quality label. Each name has to earn its slot.yahoo.com
  • The mandate is plain: US common stocks, chosen for moats and free cash flow, held for long-term capital appreciation. That is the whole compounders idea in the name.

Worth knowing

  • 0.71% with no fee waiver sits above the category median (16 funds priced), and quality peers undercut it: PSET at 0.15%, QLTY at 0.50%.
  • Non-diversified and tightly held. With a few dozen names, one stumble lands harder here than in a broad-market fund.yahoo.com
  • Launched November 2024, so the track record is thin, it remains a smaller fund, and it trades lightly, which can mean wider spreads.
