JLCODJohn Hancock Large Cap Opportunities 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%.

JLCO No data

Stated mandate

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

JLCO No data

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.comsec.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.

JLCO No data

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
