Our read on TSCM
CTimesSquare has managed mid cap growth money since 2000. TSCM is the firm's first ETF, putting that bottom-up, quality-screened process into a wrapper that used to mean a separate account, a mutual fund or a collective trust.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of mid-capitalization companies with quality-growth attributes. It is actively managed and uses a bottom-up, research-intensive investment process.
Why people hold it
- A US mid cap growth mandate in a cohort stacked with large cap index-plus funds. The screen is quality growth: faster revenue and earnings growth, plus profitability.nasdaq.com
- The portfolio is the strong suit: actively managed and diversified, built stock by stock through fundamental research rather than assembled from an index.
- 0.55% for an active strategy from a mid cap specialist, right about the going rate among its actively managed equity peers.
- The same mid cap growth process TimesSquare has offered through separate accounts, a mutual fund and a collective trust, now in an ETF.nasdaq.com
Worth knowing
- Launched at the end of 2025, so there is no long fund record yet and the risk picture rests on a short history.
- Small and thinly traded. Spreads can be wide, and sizable orders can push the price around. Mid cap shares themselves also trade in lower volumes than large caps.nasdaq.com
- Cheaper names share the cohort (JUSA at 0.12%, FELG at 0.18%), though those are large cap index-plus strategies, not active mid cap stock picking.
