Our read on TALV

ETF.net Research

In short

CTransamerica hands its large-value sleeve to Great Lakes, whose quant screen hunts stocks that are both cheap and high quality. It arrived in December 2025 into an aisle full of index-built value funds, priced below the active-value median.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

  • At 0.49% a year it undercuts the typical actively managed US value ETF, where the median fee sits at 0.55%.
  • The mandate is specific rather than vague: Great Lakes' proprietary quantitative tool screens for quality and value, with long-term capital appreciation as the stated goal.
  • The stock portfolio is the strongest piece of the package, better built than most rivals in the active value aisle.
  • A plain 1940 Act ETF: no leverage, no derivatives overlay, no structural asterisks.

Worth knowing

  • It trades thinly, so spreads can be wider than the household names in the value aisle.
  • It opened in December 2025, leaving a short record to judge the process by and only a brief window of risk data.
  • Systematic value rivals such as AVLV (0.15%) and DFLV (0.21%) cost far less; the fee here buys active judgment, not the lowest sticker.
