Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

BCGDCBaron Global Durable Advantage ETF

MOTGBVanEck Morningstar Global Wide Moat ETF

In short

BCGD No data

MOTG The global side of VanEck's moat franchise: roughly 80 companies Morningstar rates as having wide competitive advantages, then screened again for the biggest discounts to Morningstar's own fair value estimates.

Stated mandate

BCGD No data

MOTG The fund provides exposure to companies with Morningstar Economic Moat ratings of wide, emphasizing those trading at the lowest current market price-to-fair-value ratios.

Why people hold it

BCGD No data

  • MOTG Two screens, not one: a wide moat rating first, then the widest discount to Morningstar's fair value estimate. Quality gets pricey; this one insists on paying less for it.vaneck.com
  • At 0.52% a year, it undercuts the median fee in its global active-equity peer group (0.69%).
  • Roughly 80 stocks drawn worldwide, so the moats aren't all American. Portfolio construction is one of its stronger suits inside the peer group.
  • Live since 2018, so the record reflects real market history rather than a backtest.

Worth knowing

BCGD No data

  • MOTG Small and thinly traded, which typically means wider bid/ask spreads than mainstream global funds.
  • Cheaper than the peer median, not cheap outright: broad global funds like GSWO (0.15%) and DFAW (0.24%) charge less than half.
  • Distributions come annually or semiannually, so it isn't built as a steady income stream.
