IMCVAiShares Morningstar Mid-Cap Value ETF

QGROBAmerican Century U.S. Quality Growth ETF

In short

IMCV No data

QGRO Plenty of growth funds pay any price for growth. QGRO tracks an index that screens U.S. large- and mid-caps on quality, growth and valuation together, roughly 190 names, for 0.29% a year.

Stated mandate

IMCV No data

QGRO The fund seeks exposure to U.S. large- and mid-capitalization companies selected for attractive quality, growth and valuation characteristics.

Why people hold it

IMCV No data

  • QGRO The screen is a three-part filter, not a momentum chase: quality, growth and valuation characteristics all feed the American Century U.S. Quality Growth Index that the fund follows.americancentury.com
  • 0.29% a year sits under the typical multifactor fund's fee, and you get an active-shop screen wrapped in a rules-based index.
  • It does what the label says: the portfolio hews closely to its stated index, with tight, easy trading and over a billion dollars in assets behind it.
  • Live since 2018 with a quarterly distribution, so it has a real multi-cycle record rather than a backtest.

Worth knowing

IMCV No data

  • QGRO Cheap beta is cheaper. IUSG runs 0.04% and FNDX 0.25% for their own large-cap tilts, so you are paying up for the multi-factor screen.
  • A growth tilt held in about 190 names carries more swing than a total-market fund. Its risk profile is the weakest link in an otherwise upper-half showing.
  • It is a style sleeve, not a whole portfolio: the mandate is U.S. large- and mid-caps only, no international or small-cap exposure.
