Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

ABIGBArgent Large Cap ETF

AQECBAQE Core ETF

In short

ABIG Argent's 2025 ETF debut: an active large-cap portfolio built around businesses the manager judges durable, screened on growth, quality and value, at a fee under the typical active quality fund.

AQEC No data

Stated mandate

ABIG The actively managed fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity securities of large-capitalization companies that the sub-adviser considers high-quality, enduring businesses.

AQEC No data

Why people hold it

  • ABIG Costs 0.49% a year, below the 0.57% median for its active quality large-cap peer group and level with the cheapest top-rated fund in that group (ABFL).
  • No index to hug. A sub-adviser runs a proprietary quantitative screen across growth, quality and value, then holds large caps it considers enduring businesses.
  • The portfolio does what the prospectus advertises: US large caps, quality tilt, no style drift into small caps or foreign names.
  • Sits in the upper half of its quality and free-cash-flow peer cohort despite being the newest name in the room.

AQEC No data

Worth knowing

  • ABIG Launched in April 2025, so the track record is short and risk measures rest on limited history.
  • Small asset base and thin trading, which tends to mean wider bid-ask spreads than the established funds in this lane.
  • Index-based quality exposure runs far cheaper (PSET charges 0.15%), so the fee here is the price of a human making the calls.
