GUSEAGoldman Sachs Enhanced U.S. Equity ETF

LGDSBJPMorgan Fundamental Data Science Large Growth ETF

In short

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.

LGDS No data

Stated 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.

LGDS No data

Why people hold it

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.

LGDS No data

Worth knowing

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.
