Our read on FMCX
DAn actively picked book of roughly 25 to 35 U.S. stocks from First Manhattan, with no index to hug and no diversification requirement. Old-school stockpicking in an ETF wrapper, priced like it.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- Real concentration: roughly 25 to 35 U.S.-listed stocks picked bottom-up, not 500 names copied from an index. Each holding is big enough to matter.bloomberg.comsec.gov
- Plain plumbing: a 1940 Act fund holding U.S. common stocks under a one-line mandate, long-term capital appreciation.
- Trading since 2022, so there is an actual multi-year record to read instead of a backtest.
Worth knowing
- The 0.70% fee sits well above index-plus rivals such as DFAC (0.17%) and AVLC (0.15%). Stock selection carries the whole argument here.
- Thinly traded, so spreads can be wider and limit orders matter more than they would with a mega-cap tracker.
- Non-diversified by design: one name can move the whole portfolio. Concentration cuts both ways.mutualfunds.combloomberg.com
