Our read on NBCR
CNeuberger Berman's 2024 entry into active core equity: a roughly 200-stock US portfolio built for long-term growth of capital, priced under the typical active equity fund rather than at the premium the label usually invites.
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.52% a year, below the median for actively managed US equity ETFs. Active stock picking without the fee drag that usually comes attached.
- Roughly 200 holdings: wide enough that no single name dominates, narrow enough that the manager's choices actually show up in results.
- A plain mandate, plainly stated. The prospectus objective is long-term growth of capital from a mainly-equity portfolio, with no derivatives overlay or income-generation machinery bolted on.
- Sits in the upper half of its active US equity peer group on our overall read, with holdings quality the standout piece.
Worth knowing
- Launched in 2024, so there is not yet a long record to judge the strategy through a full market cycle.
- Trades thinly. Spreads can widen when volume is light, which matters more for larger orders than for small ones.
- Cheaper systematic options crowd the same shelf: DFAC (0.17%), AVLC (0.15%) and DFAU (0.12%) all deliver core US equity for a fraction of the fee.
