Our read on SAGP

ETF.net Research

In short

CWall Street reads earnings calls. Strategas reads lobbying disclosures. SAGP is an active global stock fund that ranks companies by how hard they work Washington, then rebalances quarterly as the agenda shifts.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • Stock selection starts with public lobbying data, which the adviser calls a largely unrecognized factor in company analysis. Not another value-versus-growth sort.sec.gov
  • Rebalances quarterly, so the book can follow which issues and industries are drawing the heaviest lobbying push in Washington.strategasetfs.com
  • Roughly 100 names spanning US large, mid and small caps plus non-US companies, so the policy theme rides on a broad book rather than a handful of bets.sec.gov
  • At 0.65%, it undercuts the median fee among active global equity funds we grade, and it sits in the upper half of that peer group overall.

Worth knowing

  • Lobbying intensity is the primary input and traditional financial metrics are not part of the screen, so results can diverge sharply from fundamentals-driven funds.strategasetfs.com
  • Thinly traded. Spreads can run wider than in mega-cap index funds, so limit orders and mid-session trading matter more here.
  • 0.65% is real money next to plain global index trackers like GSWO at 0.15%. You are paying for a research process, not an index.
