The ETF.net SAWG Grade
Score 37 of 100 sits in the D band. Bands: A ≥ 70, B ≥ 55, C ≥ 40, D ≥ 25, F < 25; the scale skips E. A structural cap ceilings this fund at 40, so B and A are out of reach.

Our read on SAWG
DThe name says growth; the mandate says brakes. An active fund aiming for market upside while emphasizing downside protection and lower volatility, which lands it among low-vol defensives rather than pure growth funds.
The Fund seeks risk-adjusted returns with participation in market upside, while emphasizing downside protection and lower volatility.
Why people hold it
- The contract is written down: its own filing commits to participation in market upside while emphasizing downside protection and lower volatility.
- Simple plumbing. A US large-cap stock portfolio with no leverage, no options overlay, and no derivative machinery to decode.
- Runs without a declared index, so managers can lean defensive when they choose instead of holding whatever a rulebook prints.
Worth knowing
- At 0.49%, it costs more than several low-vol rivals: SELV charges 0.15% and CGCV 0.33% for a similar defensive job.
- Small and thinly traded, so bid-ask spreads can widen and large orders may move the price more than in a heavily traded fund.
- Launched in 2024, so the downside-protection mandate has not yet faced a full market cycle. Distributions come annually or semiannually, not monthly.
