Our read on SURE
CAn actively managed, roughly 100-stock US portfolio that weights every holding the same and screens for profitability. A 2011-vintage boutique in a corner of the market now ruled by ultra-cheap quant giants.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Why people hold it
- Equal weight across about 100 US names, so no single mega-cap dominates the portfolio, with profitability built into the selection screen rather than bolted on afterward.
- Live since 2011, which means the strategy has run through real market cycles rather than arriving as a fresh backtest.
- The stock book is the strongest part of the package: a diversified, all-US equity sleeve under a plain 1940 Act fund wrapper with a single mandate, long-term capital appreciation.
Worth knowing
- Cost is the trade-off: 1.00% a year against a 0.65% median for active US equity funds, while systematic rivals like DFAU (0.12%) and AVLC (0.15%) charge a sliver of that.
- Thinly traded for its category, so limit orders matter and spreads can widen when markets get jumpy.
- Distributions land once or twice a year, not monthly. The mandate is capital appreciation, not an income stream.
