FFOGBFranklin Focused Growth ETF

GUSEAGoldman Sachs Enhanced U.S. Equity ETF

In short

FFOG Franklin's high-conviction growth sleeve: roughly 40 stocks picked with daily manager discretion, no index to copy, at a fee that undercuts most active growth rivals. Concentration is the whole point.

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

FFOG The Fund seeks capital appreciation. It is an actively managed ETF investing predominantly in equity securities of companies the manager considers compelling growth opportunities, with daily portfolio discretion rather than an index-replication mandate.

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

  • FFOG At 0.41%, it undercuts the typical fee in its active growth peer group and most funds measured against the same Russell 1000 Growth benchmark.
  • About 40 names, not 400. The manager backs chosen ideas with daily discretion instead of replicating an index, using Russell 1000 Growth as a yardstick.
  • Running since 2016 and one of the stronger implementations in a crowded field of active US growth funds.
  • 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

  • FFOG Concentration cuts both ways. With roughly 40 holdings, a single stumble lands harder here than in a broad index fund holding hundreds of stocks.
  • Outcomes hinge on the manager's stock calls. There's no index-replication mandate, so the portfolio can sit well away from Russell 1000 Growth in either direction.
  • A mid-sized, moderately traded fund, so bid-ask spreads can run wider than on the giant index growth ETFs, especially in choppy sessions.
  • 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.
