Our read on SIXA
DAlmost every mega-cap ETF is a cheap index tracker. SIXA is the odd one out: an actively managed, momentum-driven cut of the largest 10% of the Russell 3000, live since 2020.
The Fund seeks capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- The active outlier in an index-dominated corner: a momentum-driven mega-cap portfolio instead of a cap-weighted list.
- The mandate keeps it anchored: at least 80% of net assets in mega caps, defined as the largest 10% of Russell 3000 stocks, mainly common stock.
- Pays monthly, a cadence most capital-appreciation equity funds skip.
- Trading since 2020 and one of a small ETF lineup built on advisory firm 6 Meridian's in-house strategies.6meridianfunds.com
Worth knowing
- At 0.47%, it runs above the 0.20% cohort median, and index rivals MGC and MGK charge 0.05%. Active stock selection is what the extra fee buys.
- Thinly traded next to the mega-cap index giants, so spreads and order size matter more here.
- Momentum leans into what has been working, so holdings can sit well away from a plain cap-weighted mega-cap index.
