LRGC vs TSCM

LRGCAAB US Large Cap Strategic Equities ETF

TSCMCTimesSquare Quality Mid Cap 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.

TSCM TimesSquare has managed mid cap growth money since 2000. TSCM is the firm's first ETF, putting that bottom-up, quality-screened process into a wrapper that used to mean a separate account, a mutual fund or a collective trust.

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.

TSCM The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of mid-capitalization companies with quality-growth attributes. It is actively managed and uses a bottom-up, research-intensive investment process.

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

• TSCM A US mid cap growth mandate in a cohort stacked with large cap index-plus funds. The screen is quality growth: faster revenue and earnings growth, plus profitability.nasdaq.com
• The portfolio is the strong suit: actively managed and diversified, built stock by stock through fundamental research rather than assembled from an index.
• 0.55% for an active strategy from a mid cap specialist, right about the going rate among its actively managed equity peers.
• The same mid cap growth process TimesSquare has offered through separate accounts, a mutual fund and a collective trust, now in an ETF.nasdaq.com

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.

• TSCM Launched at the end of 2025, so there is no long fund record yet and the risk picture rests on a short history.
• Small and thinly traded. Spreads can be wide, and sizable orders can push the price around. Mid cap shares themselves also trade in lower volumes than large caps.nasdaq.com
• Cheaper names share the cohort (JUSA at 0.12%, FELG at 0.18%), though those are large cap index-plus strategies, not active mid cap stock picking.
