Our read on ROE
AIn most US quality funds, a few mega-caps run the show. Quality Kings screens American companies for quality and value, then weights what survives equally, so the screen picks the portfolio instead of market cap.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- Costs 0.49% a year, under the median for active US equity funds. Active screening at a price closer to plain-vanilla strategy funds.
- Equal weighting gives every holding the same starting slug, so one giant name can't quietly become the whole fund.
- Pairs a quality screen with a value screen, which keeps a hunt for profitable companies from turning into a basket of expensive ones.
- The portfolio build is the strongest piece here, and the fund sits in the upper tier of a large field of active US stock funds.
Worth knowing
- Trades thinly next to the heavyweights in its category. Limit orders and avoiding the opening bell matter more here than in a mega-fund.
- Broad rivals cost far less: DFAU at 0.12% and AVLC at 0.15%. The extra fee buys the screen and the equal weighting, not broader coverage.
- Launched in 2023, so the live record is short. Equal weighting also means far less exposure to the largest US companies than a cap-weighted fund.
