BKLCABNY Mellon US Large Cap Core Equity ETF

HDUSBHartford Disciplined US Equity ETF

In short

BKLC BNY launched BKLC in April 2020 as one of the first US stock ETFs with a 0.00% fee, no waiver, no expiration date. It still charges nothing to hold roughly 500 large US companies, while the typical fund in its peer group charges 0.14%.

HDUS A core US large-cap holding with a factor engine under the hood: Hartford's own index rules tilt toward value, momentum and quality while leashing how far the portfolio can drift from the cap-weighted market.

Stated mandate

BKLC The fund seeks to track the performance of the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index TR.

HDUS The fund seeks investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to the total return of an index tracking exchange-traded U.S. large-cap equity securities.

Why people hold it

BKLC The fee is zero, not 'nearly zero.' No management fee and no waiver waiting to expire, against a 0.14% median in its large-cap peer group.prnewswire.com sec.gov
Even the discount giants charge something: SCHX and VV at 0.03%, VONE at 0.06%. BKLC's expense line reads 0.00%.
Boring by design: a rules-based basket of about 500 large US stocks tracking the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index, and the tracking has been tight.
Not a novelty product. It is a multi-billion-dollar fund run by BNY, and it pays distributions quarterly.

HDUS Rules-based multifactor selection across value, momentum and quality, run through an optimizer that targets a lower volatility level and controlled drift from the cap-weighted universe.hartfordfunds.com
Built in-house: the index methodology comes from Lattice Strategies, a Hartford Funds subsidiary, and the portfolio is reshuffled on a set schedule twice a year rather than at a manager's whim.hartfordfunds.com etfexpress.com
Spreads the bet across roughly 300 US large caps and pays quarterly, and it does what the prospectus says it does: US large-cap equity, index-tracked, no style wandering.
Lands in the upper half of a two-dozen-fund US large-cap peer group, which is respectable company for a smart-beta build competing against plain vanilla trackers.

Worth knowing

BKLC Zero fee is not zero cost. You still cross the bid-ask spread, and BKLC trades at moderate volume rather than the wall-to-wall liquidity of the biggest index funds.
One country, one asset class, one size band: US large-cap stocks. No bonds, no international, no small caps.
It opened in April 2020, so its live record is shorter than large-cap index rivals that have been running for decades.prnewswire.com

HDUS 0.19% a year is above the typical fee in its large-cap group and several times the 0.03% charged by plain cap-weighted rivals like SCHX and VV. That is the toll for the factor machinery.
Small asset base and light trading versus the household-name trackers, so spreads and order size matter more here than with the giants.
The factor tilts mean it can diverge from a plain cap-weighted large-cap index in either direction, and the live record only dates to its 2022 launch.hartfordfunds.com
