LRGC vs RILA

LRGCAAB US Large Cap Strategic Equities ETF

RILACIndexperts Gorilla Aggressive Growth ETF

In short

LRGC AB's stock pickers in an ETF wrapper: roughly 70 large-cap US names picked with fundamental research plus quant screens, measured against the S&P 500. Active conviction, priced under the typical active peer.

RILA A 2025-vintage stock picker's fund: actively managed, with at least 80% of assets in US common stocks the adviser thinks can grow. It undercuts the typical fee in its active-growth peer group, and it is still small and thinly traded.

Stated mandate

LRGC The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital. It is actively managed and normally invests at least 80% of net assets in equities of large-capitalization U.S. companies.

RILA The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and is actively managed. It normally invests at least 80% of its assets in common stocks that the adviser believes have growth potential.

Why people hold it

• LRGC Roughly 70 holdings against a 500-stock yardstick, with quality and value screens doing the filtering. Each name actually carries weight.
• 0.39% a year sits below the median fee in its active large-cap group, so the manager isn't digging out of a deep cost hole.
• One of the stronger implementations among the actively managed US large-cap funds we track, with a plain mandate: at least 80% of net assets in large-cap US equities.
• Launched in 2023 on one of AB's core US equity strategies, with Jane Street signed on as lead market maker from day one.prnewswire.com

• RILA Costs 0.50% a year, a touch under the median for actively managed US growth ETFs. Human stock picking without a premium price tag.
• Does what the prospectus says: normally at least 80% in US common stocks chosen for growth potential, with the portfolio matching the stated mandate closely.
• The stock-level book is one of its stronger features, and the fund lands in the upper half of its active US growth peer group.
• Pays out quarterly, a standard cadence for an equity fund whose main job is capital appreciation rather than income.

Worth knowing

• LRGC At 0.39%, it costs more than cheaper enhanced-index rivals in the same group, such as JUSA at 0.12% and GUSE at 0.30%.
• Outcomes ride on the team's judgment, not an index rulebook, and about 70 positions concentrate those calls.
• It trades lightly next to the big index names, so spreads can run wider, especially in fast markets.

• RILA Small asset base and thin trading. That usually means wider bid-ask spreads than a mega-fund, which matters most on large or hurried orders.
• Launched in 2025, so the record is short and the risk read rests on limited history rather than a full market cycle.
• Highly rated rivals in the same lane cost far less: JUSA at 0.12% and FELG at 0.18%. Active conviction here is priced above the index-plus alternatives.
