Our read on MVPA
DA boutique stock-picker's take on value: no index to hug, just a capital-appreciation mandate and a manager's judgment, in an ETF wrapper since 2024. You pay active-manager pricing for the privilege.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- Genuinely active. The stated objective is plain capital appreciation, so the manager picks stocks rather than tracking a rules-based value screen.
- At 0.60%, the fee sits a whisker above the 0.55% median for active value funds. Boutique active management, priced near the middle of that pack.
- Appreciation-first by design. Distributions come once or twice a year at most, not monthly. This is a growth-of-capital mandate, not an income one.
Worth knowing
- That 0.60% is four to five times what the top-rated systematic value funds charge (WTV at 0.12%, AVLV at 0.15%). The stock picking has to earn that gap back.
- Thinly traded. Limit orders matter here, and a large order can push the price around more than it would in a household-name value ETF.
- Launched in 2024, so the record is short, and price swings have run wider than those of the typical fund in its value peer group.
