Our read on GUSE
AGoldman's fundamental stock pickers hunting long-term growth in US companies, for 0.30% a year. The strategy dates to 2008 and charges well under the typical active US growth fund.
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in companies that the Investment Adviser believes are positioned for long-term growth.
Why people hold it
- Charges 0.30% a year, against a 0.54% median for its active US growth cohort. Cheap, for stock picking.
- Actively run with no index to shadow. Managers hold companies they judge positioned for long-term growth, so the portfolio can look different from a large-cap benchmark.
- Inception dates to 2008, so the strategy has run through multiple market cycles, not one long rally.
- One of the stronger implementations in a crowded field of active US growth funds.
Worth knowing
- Trades thinly next to the category's heavyweights. Spreads can be wider, which bites most on large or hurried orders.
- Two peers in the same top tier undercut it on fee: JUSA at 0.12% and FELG at 0.18%. Price is not where this one stands out.
- Distributions land once or twice a year, not monthly. Growth of capital is the stated goal, not an income stream.
