EPS vs GXLC

EPSAWisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Fund

GXLCCGlobal X U.S. 500 ETF

In short

EPS Large-cap core with a profit filter. Roughly 500 U.S. companies, all of them earnings generators, tracked since 2007 for 0.08% a year. Same plumbing as a plain index fund, with a screen most of them skip.

GXLC The thematic-ETF shop goes plain vanilla. Global X's cheapest fund ever tracks the 500 largest U.S.-listed companies for two basis points, and it launched in 2025, making it the new kid in a cohort of entrenched giants.

Stated mandate

EPS The fund seeks to track earnings-generating large-cap companies in the U.S. equity market.

GXLC The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index.

Why people hold it

• EPS The screen is the whole point: the index holds large U.S. companies that actually generate earnings, so unprofitable names do not ride in on market cap alone.wisdomtree.com
• 0.08% a year, under the median for its large-cap peer group, and it still spreads across roughly 500 stocks.
• Running since 2007 and now a multi-billion-dollar fund, it has tracked its index tightly and ranks in the top quartile of its large-cap cohort.
• Pays out quarterly, the standard cadence for a core equity holding.

• GXLC 0.02% a year, against a 0.14% median for its large-cap peer group. Among the cohort's top-rated names, only BKLC (0.00%) is cheaper; SCHX and VV both sit at 0.03%.
• Does exactly what the label says: market-cap-weighted exposure to the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index, roughly 500 of the largest U.S.-listed companies, with close index fidelity.globalxetfs.com
• Global X built its name on thematic niches. This is the house core fund, positioned by the issuer as a foundational holding and priced as its lowest-cost product.globalxetfs.com

Worth knowing

• EPS It trades thinly for the category, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than the heavily traded core names in the group.
• Cheaper shelf-mates exist: SCHX and VV charge 0.03%, BKLC charges nothing. The earnings screen is what the extra basis points buy.
• Screening on earnings means the portfolio can look different from a plain cap-weighted large-cap index, and its results will drift from that benchmark in both directions.

• GXLC A 2025 launch with a small asset base. Young, subscale funds carry more closure and scale risk than decades-old rivals like SCHX and VV.
• Thinly traded next to the category's household names, which can mean wider bid-ask spreads on the way in and out.
• The benchmark is Solactive's US 500, not the S&P 500. Same neighborhood, different membership rules, so holdings can drift from the index most headlines quote.globalxetfs.com
