Our read on each fund

ETF.net Research

CGCVACapital Group Conservative Equity ETF

SFTYCHorizon Managed Risk ETF

In short

CGCV Capital Group's stock pickers took on a three-part job in one equity fund: current income, capital growth, and preservation of principal. Roughly 100 US names, actively chosen, priced under most defensive-equity rivals.

SFTY No data

Stated mandate

CGCV The fund seeks to balance current income, capital growth, and preservation of principal.

SFTY No data

Why people hold it

  • CGCV Charges 0.33% a year against a 0.47% median for its defensive US equity group, which is unusual for an actively run fund rather than an index tracker.
  • The mandate is spelled out in the prospectus, not implied by a label: balance current income, capital growth, and preservation of principal.
  • About 100 US stocks, picked by managers rather than pulled from an index, with cash paid out quarterly.
  • Already a multi-billion-dollar fund that trades smoothly for its age, and one of the stronger builds in a small low-volatility peer group.

SFTY No data

Worth knowing

  • CGCV Preservation of principal is a stated goal, not a floor. This is a stock fund, and it can fall when the market does.
  • It launched in 2024, so there is only a short stretch of live data behind any read on how it handles rough markets.
  • Cheaper defensive shelf-mates exist: SELV runs at 0.15% and TOAK at 0.25%, though both take different routes to lower volatility.
