Our read on LST

ETF.net Research

In short

BLeuthold's Select Industries Strategy in ETF form: an active, go-anywhere US portfolio that ranks companies on growth, momentum, quality, profitability and value instead of betting the whole book on one style.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S.-traded equity securities across companies of all sizes and industries.

Why people hold it

  • Five factors, one fund. Growth, momentum, profitability, quality and value all feed selection, so no single style's cold streak sets the tone alone.
  • Go-anywhere mandate: US-traded companies of any size and any industry, which keeps small and mid caps on the menu rather than megacaps only.
  • At 0.65% it charges what a typical active US equity ETF charges. No boutique surcharge for a discretionary manager.
  • Sits in the stronger tier of the active US equity funds we cover, helped by how the portfolio is assembled and how cleanly the shares change hands.

Worth knowing

  • Launched in December 2024, so there is no full market cycle behind the ETF yet, only a short live record.
  • Cheap core rivals undercut it hard: DFAU runs 0.12% and FELC 0.18%. The 0.65% here buys active stock picking, not index tracking.
  • Small fund, moderate trading. Spreads can run wider than on giant index ETFs, so limit orders matter more here.
