Our read on PVAL

ETF.net Research

In short

BOne of the rare active ETFs that keeps most of its book private: about 40 large-cap value stocks, a daily tracking basket instead of daily holdings, and 0.55% net of a waiver through December 31, 2026.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks capital growth and current income.

Why people hold it

  • Concentrated by design: about 40 names, with at least 80% of net assets in large caps the size of Russell 1000 Value members.sec.gov
  • Semi-transparent wrapper: a tracking basket posts daily, the actual portfolio within eight business days after quarter-end, so the manager isn't telegraphing trades.franklintempleton.comsec.gov
  • Active stock picking at 0.55% (0.56% gross), net of a waiver through December 31, 2026, which lands near the category median fee.
  • The mandate pairs capital growth with current income, and this multi-billion-dollar fund pays quarterly.

Worth knowing

  • You swap daily transparency for discretion: the tracking basket is not the real portfolio, and the prospectus flags wider spreads and larger premiums or discounts.sec.gov
  • Rules-based rivals run much cheaper: WTV at 0.12%, AVLV at 0.15%, DFLV at 0.21%, none leaning on a fee waiver.
  • About 40 holdings means one stock's move counts for more here than in a sprawling value index fund.
