Our read on KMID

ETF.net Research

DMost active mid-cap funds swing for growth. Virtus KAR Mid-Cap writes something different into its prospectus: buy mid-caps it sees as undervalued against their growth potential, while aiming for less market risk than the Russell Midcap Index.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in medium-capitalization companies that KAR considers undervalued relative to their future growth potential, while seeking less market risk than the Russell Midcap Index.

Why people hold it

  1. 01The risk goal is in the prospectus, not the marketing: it seeks long-term capital appreciation while targeting less market risk than the Russell Midcap Index.
  2. 02Active stock picking without single-name drama. KAR buys mid-caps it considers undervalued versus future growth, spread across a couple hundred holdings.
  3. 03One job, one market: US mid-cap stocks only. No foreign sleeve, no bond ballast, nothing to unpack about what you actually own.

Worth knowing

  1. 01It charges 0.80%, above the 0.65% median for active US equity ETFs. Systematic peers like DFAU (0.12%) and DFAC (0.17%) cover US stocks for a fraction of that.
  2. 02Young and small: it launched in October 2024 and trades thinly, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than at household-name mid-cap funds.
  3. 03With a track record this short, the lower-risk mandate has not yet met a full market cycle. Cash also lands only once or twice a year, not monthly.
