Our read on WCEO
DMost values-screened funds filter a broad index and call it a day. WCEO runs one blunt test at the top of the org chart: is the CEO a woman? Actively managed since 2023, built around Hypatia's own women-CEO index.
The Fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.
Why people hold it
- One rule, plainly stated: at least 80% of net assets in US companies led by a female CEO. The underlying index sets a $500 million market-cap floor.wceoetf.com
- Up to 20% can go to companies with a female executive chairperson or chairperson, so the mandate reaches past the CEO title alone.wceoetf.com
- Actively managed rather than index-replicating, so it can also hold female-led US companies of any size, not just the index members.wceoetf.com
Worth knowing
- At 0.85% a year it costs several times the typical fund in its screened-equity peer group, where broad index options like ESGV and XVV charge under 0.10%.
- Small and thinly traded next to its peer group, which tends to mean wider bid-ask spreads and thinner quotes around the open and close.
- The screen tracks who holds the corner office, so a CEO change can move a name in or out. Sector mix is a by-product of that, not a target.wceoetf.com
