Our read on TMFG

ETF.net Research

DThe Motley Fool's own asset-management arm runs this one: a focused, actively managed portfolio of quality growth companies, with at least 40% of assets outside the US. It started as a 2014 mutual fund and swapped into an ETF wrapper in 2021.

Stated mandate

The fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed, focused portfolio of common stocks and depositary receipts, applying a quality-growth approach.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Global by rule, not by accident: the prospectus commits to at least 40% of assets outside the US (30% if conditions are unfavorable), spread across three or more countries.sec.gov
  2. 02One line on the fee sheet: 0.85% all in, with other expenses listed at 0.00%. That sits at the median for its focused global-growth peers and well under FFND's 1.61%.sec.gov
  3. 03Not a new fund in ETF clothing. It opened in 2014 as a mutual fund and converted to an ETF in 2021, so the strategy has been run through real market cycles.etfs.fooletfs.com
  4. 04The mandate is to stay fully invested and not time the market, so you get the managers' stock picks rather than a cash pile waiting for a dip.sec.gov

Worth knowing

  1. 01Active-manager pricing: 0.85% a year is many times a plain global index fund, and cohort peer CGGO charges 0.47%.
  2. 02Thinly traded next to big index ETFs, so spreads can be wider and size can move the price.
  3. 03A focused book with no market-cap limits, and the prospectus expects small and mid caps in the mix, so single names carry real weight.sec.gov
