Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

AQECBAQE Core ETF

JGRWCJensen Quality Growth ETF

In short

AQEC No data

JGRW Jensen's in-house quality-and-growth screen, put in an ETF wrapper in 2024. No index license, no closet benchmark: one manager's definition of a durable US grower, priced right at the middle of its peer group.

Stated mandate

AQEC No data

JGRW The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Why people hold it

AQEC No data

  • JGRW The screen is the product: a named, proprietary quality-and-growth test on US stocks, and the portfolio has stuck close to that stated brief.
  • 0.57% a year is dead-center for its quality and free-cash-flow peer group. Human stock picking without an above-market toll.
  • Plainly stated job: long-term capital appreciation from US equities, with cash paid out quarterly rather than dressed up as the main event.

Worth knowing

AQEC No data

  • JGRW Trading is light. Spreads can widen at the open and close, so how you place the order matters more here than in a mega-cap index fund.
  • Launched in 2024, so there is only a short live record. Its risk profile is measured off limited history and sits in the lower half of its cohort.
  • Cheaper quality exposure exists in the same cohort: PSET charges 0.15%. The extra cost here buys Jensen's selection, not quality as a factor.
