ABIG vs QIDX

ABIGBArgent Large Cap ETF

QIDXBIndexperts Quality Earnings Focused 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.

QIDX An active quality fund stitched from Indexperts' own house indexes: steady-earnings names across large, mid and small caps, with a manager free to override the rules. It charges less than the typical fund in its peer group.

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.

QIDX The Fund seeks total return.

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.

• QIDX Charges 0.50% a year, below the median for its quality-focused peer group and about half what the priciest name in that group (EQTY, 0.99%) asks.
• Rules first, judgment second: the portfolio is drawn from Indexperts' own growth and consistent-value indexes, with the advisor free to trim or exclude.sec.gov
• Reaches across large, mid and small caps instead of hugging a handful of mega caps, and the portfolio build ranks among the stronger ones in its peer group.sec.gov
• A plain 1940 Act equity fund seeking total return, with cash paid out quarterly. No leverage, no options overlay, no derivatives wrapper to decode.

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.

• QIDX Listed at the end of 2024, so the track record is short and any read on its risk profile rests on limited history.
• Small and thinly traded: spreads can run wider than on giant index funds, and size of order matters more.
• You are paying 0.50% for a manager's judgment when index-built quality rivals like PSET run 0.15%.
