ECML vs SEIV

ECMLDEuclidean Fundamental Value ETF

SEIVASEI QiM U.S. Large Cap Value Active ETF

In short

ECML Value investing run through deep neural networks: Euclidean's models hunt cheap NYSE and Nasdaq names, screen out the ones likely to stay cheap, and hold 60 to 70 of them. Boutique quant, boutique price.

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

ECML The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through an actively managed, quantitative and systematic strategy investing in U.S. equity securities that the Sub-Adviser considers undervalued and under-appreciated.

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

• ECML Two-sided machine learning: models estimate what a company is worth, and separately flag cheap stocks likely to keep disappointing, so value traps get screened out.euclideanetf.com
• Concentrated by design, generally 60 to 70 US stocks. Each name carries real weight instead of being diluted across hundreds of holdings.euclideanetf.com
• Fully systematic and rules-driven, so the process does not hinge on one manager's gut call. Financials are excluded from the universe altogether.euclideanetf.com

• 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

• ECML At 0.95% a year, it costs well above the roughly 0.55% typical for active US value ETFs, and many times what systematic peers like AVLV (0.15%) or DFLV (0.21%) charge.
• A small, thinly traded fund. Spreads can be wide, so limit orders matter more here than in a mega-cap index product.
• Concentration plus a financials exclusion means results can wander far from broad value benchmarks in either direction, and the fund has only traded since 2023.euclideanetf.com

• 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.
