ETF.net Research

LRGCAAB US Large Cap Strategic Equities ETF

TFGZDThornburg Focus Growth Fund

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.

TFGZ Thornburg's 2026 entry in U.S. growth: large-cap names picked one at a time for above-average earnings and cash-flow growth, built bottom-up rather than off a forecast for the economy.

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.

TFGZ The fund invests mainly in U.S. equities and pursues growth by selecting companies with above-average earnings and cash-flow growth, often emphasizing large-cap issuers. Its portfolio is built bottom-up around individual stock evaluation rather than broad economic-cycle analysis.

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
  • TFGZ The mandate is specific, not vague 'growth': U.S. companies with above-average earnings and cash-flow growth, with an emphasis on large caps.
  • Bottom-up by design. Each holding is judged on its own numbers rather than slotted in from a view on the economic cycle.
  • Growth is stated up front in the fund's own documents, so the style is declared rather than reverse-engineered from the holdings list.
  • A pure U.S. equity book: no currency translation or foreign market hours layered on top of the stock picking.

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.
  • TFGZ Costs 0.79% a year, above the 0.54% median for its active U.S. growth peers and well above enhanced-index rivals like JUSA (0.12%) and FELG (0.18%).
  • New in 2026, small, and thinly traded: spreads can run wider than in the category's giants, and there is little history to judge the manager's hand.
  • Built for growth, not income. It has not been paying distributions, so results ride on share price alone.
