ESLGAEventide Large Cap Growth ETF

GUSEAGoldman Sachs Enhanced U.S. Equity ETF

In short

ESLG Active large-cap growth from a boutique shop, priced at 0.39% a year, under what the typical conviction-growth ETF charges. It launched in 2025, so the record is short, but the fee and the portfolio put it in the upper tier of its peer group.

GUSE Goldman's fundamental stock pickers hunting long-term growth in US companies, for 0.30% a year. The strategy dates to 2008 and charges well under the typical active US growth fund.

Stated mandate

ESLG The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through primarily U.S. large-capitalization equities with growth characteristics. It is actively managed with a long-only approach and applies Eventide’s values-based screening criteria.

GUSE The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in companies that the Investment Adviser believes are positioned for long-term growth.

Why people hold it

ESLG 0.39% a year undercuts the typical conviction-growth ETF, which runs nearer 0.54%. Close to index-plus pricing for a fund where humans pick the stocks.
Sits in the upper tier of a crowded cohort of active US growth strategies, and the portfolio construction is the strongest part of that picture.
A plain long-only equity wrapper: no leverage, no derivative payout mechanics, no structural flags, with distributions on a quarterly schedule.eventideinvestments.com

GUSE Charges 0.30% a year, against a 0.54% median for its active US growth cohort. Cheap, for stock picking.
Actively run with no index to shadow. Managers hold companies they judge positioned for long-term growth, so the portfolio can look different from a large-cap benchmark.
Inception dates to 2008, so the strategy has run through multiple market cycles, not one long rally.
One of the stronger implementations in a crowded field of active US growth funds.

Worth knowing

ESLG Assets are still small and trading is thin, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than on the mega-cap index names in this space.
It opened in September 2025. The issuer itself flags the limited operating history, and risk readings rest on a short window rather than a full market cycle.eventideinvestments.com
Cheaper large-cap growth exists: index-plus peers such as JUSA (0.12%) and FELG (0.18%) charge a fraction of this fee.

GUSE Trades thinly next to the category's heavyweights. Spreads can be wider, which bites most on large or hurried orders.
Two peers in the same top tier undercut it on fee: JUSA at 0.12% and FELG at 0.18%. Price is not where this one stands out.
Distributions land once or twice a year, not monthly. Growth of capital is the stated goal, not an income stream.
