Our read on HGRO

ETF.net Research

CHedgeye built its name selling macro research to traders. HGRO is that research in a ticker: an active, concentrated book of US large- and mid-cap growth names picked off the firm's growth-and-inflation regime maps.

Stated mandate

The fund aims to achieve long-term growth of capital and income.

Why people hold it

  1. 01The macro call is the product: holdings come off a framework that maps growth and inflation data into themes, then screens companies on fundamentals.stockanalysis.com
  2. 02Genuinely active. It runs a non-diversified book of US-listed stocks and REITs, with at least 80% of net assets in US-listed equities, rather than hugging a broad index.finance.yahoo.com
  3. 03Moderately traded despite a 2025 launch, so getting a position on or off is not a scavenger hunt.

Worth knowing

  1. 010.70% a year is full active pricing, above the typical active US equity ETF and many times core rivals like DFAU (0.12%) and FELC (0.18%).
  2. 02Launched June 2025, so the record is short and the process has not been tested across a full market cycle.
  3. 03Non-diversified means fewer, larger positions, and up to 20% of total assets can sit in foreign companies, including depositary receipts.finance.yahoo.com
