Our read on NANC
CAn actively managed fund built from paperwork: it holds US stocks that Democratic members of Congress and their families report trading under the STOCK Act. Live since 2023.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- No black box. Holdings trace back to Periodic Transaction Reports that lawmakers must file under the STOCK Act, public documents anyone can go read.sec.gov
- Screens cut the noise: same-report round trips, securities underlying reported options, and positions predating a member's term are left out.sec.gov
- A wide net of stocks rather than a few headline trades. It can also hold sector funds that show up on filings, while broad-based funds are excluded.sec.gov
- Standard 1940 Act ETF plumbing chasing plain long-term capital appreciation, and it lands in the upper half of a crowded active US equity peer group.
Worth knowing
- At 0.74% a year it runs above the typical active US equity ETF (0.65% median) and well above index-style peers like DFAU at 0.12% or AVLC at 0.15%.
- Delay is baked in. PTRs are due within 30 days of a member learning of a trade and no later than 45 days after it, so the fund follows disclosures, not live trades.sec.gov
- It trades thinly next to core index funds, so spreads can run wider, and cash comes back on an annual or semiannual schedule rather than monthly.
