CGVV vs SEIV

CGVVBCapital Group U.S. Large Value ETF

SEIVASEI QiM U.S. Large Cap Value Active ETF

In short

CGVV Capital Group's active swing at large-cap value, measured against the Russell 1000 Value Index and priced at 0.33%, well under what active value funds usually charge. It opened in 2025, so the record is short.

SEIV Active quant value stock-picking at an index-fund price. SEIV screens U.S. large caps for cheap valuations plus quality, momentum and low volatility, then runs a concentrated book of roughly 80 names for 0.15% a year.

Stated mandate

CGVV The fund seeks capital appreciation and typically invests at least 80% of net assets in common stocks and other equity-type securities.

SEIV The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through primarily U.S. common stocks priced below fundamental valuation measures, using a quantitative, active stock-selection approach.

Why people hold it

• CGVV At 0.33%, it undercuts the typical active US value fund (around 0.55%) and most rivals benched to the same Russell 1000 Value index, such as JAVA at 0.44% and TEQI at 0.54%.
• Plain mandate, plainly stated: capital appreciation, with at least 80% of net assets in common stocks and other equity-type securities.capitalgroup.com
• Sits in the upper half of its active US value peer group, helped by low cost and orderly day-to-day trading.

• SEIV 0.15% a year for genuine active selection, against a 0.55% median in its U.S. value peer group. It matches the cheapest large-value quant funds rather than charging active prices.
• Value is not the only screen. The model also weighs quality, momentum and low volatility, which is how a cheap-stock strategy tries to avoid the cheap-for-a-reason trap.
• Other funds measured against the S&P 500 in this cohort charge far more (LSVD 0.40%, GSPY 0.50%, VNSE 1.34%). SEIV runs its version at 0.15%.
• Sits among the strongest implementations in a crowded U.S. value field, and trades with enough regular activity to be workable for ordinary retail order sizes.

Worth knowing

• CGVV Launched June 2025. The history is thin, and any risk read rests on a short window.
• This is a stock picker, not an index clone. The Russell 1000 Value Index is the yardstick, and results can land either side of it.
• Systematic value rivals charge less: WTV at 0.12% and AVLV at 0.15%.

• SEIV About 80 stocks measured against a 500-name benchmark. That concentration means stretches where it looks nothing like the S&P 500, in either direction.
• Launched in 2022, so the live record is short, and the asset base is mid-sized rather than among the giants of the value aisle.
• You get the factor recipe, not the trade-by-trade logic: selection sits inside a quantitative model. Distributions land quarterly, not monthly.
