Our read on INFL

ETF.net Research

In short

CMost equity funds chase an index. INFL chases purchasing power: a hand-picked book of roughly 50 stocks built around one question, what holds up when prices rise. Active since 2021, with no benchmark to hide behind.

Stated mandate

The Fund targets long-term capital appreciation after accounting for inflation.

Why people hold it

  • The mandate is unusually specific: long-term capital appreciation after accounting for inflation, not simply beating a stock index. That framing drives value-led, bottom-up stock picking.
  • About 50 names across US and developed international markets. Concentrated enough that individual picks actually move the portfolio, which is the point of hiring an active manager.
  • Trades well for a niche active fund. Liquidity and spreads sit near the top of its global active equity peer group, so getting in and out is rarely the expensive part.
  • Launched in 2021 and since grown past the billion-dollar mark, giving it an operating history and a scale most thematic launches never reach. Pays quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • At 0.85% a year, it costs more than the typical global active equity fund. Broad index peers like GSWO and DFAW charge a fraction of that.
  • No index to grade it against. This is a manager's book of inflation beneficiaries, so the process and the holdings, not tracking error, are what you are judging.
  • A concentrated, theme-driven portfolio moves on its own schedule. It can look nothing like the broad market for long stretches, in either direction.
