Our read on TFGZ
CThornburg's 2026 entry in U.S. growth: large-cap names picked one at a time for above-average earnings and cash-flow growth, built bottom-up rather than off a forecast for the economy.
The fund invests mainly in U.S. equities and pursues growth by selecting companies with above-average earnings and cash-flow growth, often emphasizing large-cap issuers. Its portfolio is built bottom-up around individual stock evaluation rather than broad economic-cycle analysis.
Why people hold it
- The mandate is specific, not vague 'growth': U.S. companies with above-average earnings and cash-flow growth, with an emphasis on large caps.
- Bottom-up by design. Each holding is judged on its own numbers rather than slotted in from a view on the economic cycle.
- Growth is stated up front in the fund's own documents, so the style is declared rather than reverse-engineered from the holdings list.
- A pure U.S. equity book: no currency translation or foreign market hours layered on top of the stock picking.
Worth knowing
- Costs 0.79% a year, above the 0.54% median for its active U.S. growth peers and well above enhanced-index rivals like JUSA (0.12%) and FELG (0.18%).
- New in 2026, small, and thinly traded: spreads can run wider than in the category's giants, and there is little history to judge the manager's hand.
- Built for growth, not income. It has not been paying distributions, so results ride on share price alone.
