Our read on FMCE

ETF.net Research

CFirst Manhattan's stock pickers distill their best ideas into 25 to 35 US names. Active, non-diversified, moat-and-cash-flow investing in an ETF wrapper since 2024.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Real concentration: 25 to 35 US common stocks, so each pick carries weight instead of vanishing into an index tail.finance.yahoo.comstockanalysis.com
  2. 02Plain mandate: long-term capital appreciation from resilient businesses with strong competitive advantages, picked by fundamental research rather than a screen.stockanalysis.com
  3. 03Old-school stock picking, modern plumbing: actively managed by First Manhattan, with at least 80% of assets in equities under normal conditions.finance.yahoo.com

Worth knowing

  1. 01At 0.70% a year it prices above most of its quality-and-moat peers; PSET charges 0.15% for a systematic take on the same idea.
  2. 02Thinly traded, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads and more slippage on bigger orders than in mainstream large-cap funds.
  3. 03Non-diversified and live only since 2024: fewer names to absorb a stumble, and a record too short to judge across a full cycle. Lower tier of its cohort on our review.finance.yahoo.com
