Our read on VGRO

ETF.net Research

CVirtus hands the Silvant team an ETF wrapper and one job: pick U.S. stocks with above-average growth potential. Active stock-picking, priced closer to an index fund than to its stock-picking peers.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. equity securities that the sub-adviser considers to have above-average growth potential.

Why people hold it

  1. 01Charges 0.35% a year, well under the median for its active U.S. growth peer group. Active management without the usual active toll.
  2. 02Fee sits in the same neighborhood as heavyweight rivals GUSE and MAGS (0.30%) and undercuts LRGC (0.39%).
  3. 03A mandate you can say in one breath: capital appreciation from U.S. equities the sub-adviser judges to have above-average growth potential. No hedges, no overlays.
  4. 04Standard 1940 Act ETF structure: daily-traded, no K-1, the plumbing most investors already know.

Worth knowing

  1. 01Launched December 2025. The strategy is new in this wrapper, so there is little live record to judge the stock-picking against.
  2. 02Small asset base and light trading volume. Spreads can run wider than at the big names in the category, which matters most on larger orders.
  3. 03Built for capital appreciation, not income. Growth mandates like this one lean on share-price gains rather than a payout stream.
