MIDECXtrackers S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened ETF

SPMDAState Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 400 Mid Cap ETF

In short

MIDE Mid-cap America with a filter: MIDE tracks S&P's Scored & Screened cut of the MidCap 400, holding roughly 300 of the names. Launched in 2021, it's the small, screened cousin in a cohort ruled by giant plain-vanilla trackers.

SPMD Four ETFs track the S&P MidCap 400. This is the cheapest of them at 0.03%, a fraction of what the priciest wrapper on the identical 400 stocks charges. Same index, smaller toll booth.

Stated mandate

MIDE The fund seeks investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of its underlying index.

SPMD The fund seeks to track the total return performance of the S&P MidCap 400 Index before fees and expenses, providing exposure to mid-cap U.S. equities.

Why people hold it

MIDE The screen is the point: it starts from the S&P MidCap 400 and follows the Scored & Screened index rules, landing at roughly 300 stocks instead of the full roster.
At 0.15%, the fee lands right on the median for S&P MidCap 400 trackers and below MDY's 0.23%.
No mandate mystery: a straight index fund that aims to match its stated benchmark before fees, and it pays quarterly.

SPMD 0.03% a year for the S&P MidCap 400. The other funds tracking that same index charge 0.05% (IJH), 0.07% (IVOO) and 0.23% (MDY).
Boring done well: about 400 mid-cap US stocks, one published S&P index, and tracking measured as among the tightest in its peer group.
A multi-billion-dollar fund that trades actively, so entering and exiting is rarely the hard part.
Stands in the top tier of the S&P MidCap 400 wrappers we grade, driven by fee and tracking rather than any clever twist.

Worth knowing

MIDE A small asset base and thin trading mean wider bid-ask spreads than the mid-cap heavyweights, a cost that shows up at the trade, not in the fee.
Unscreened exposure to the same mid-cap universe costs less: SPMD at 0.03%, IJH at 0.05%, IVOO at 0.07%.
The screens drop names the parent index keeps, so this follows the Scored & Screened version and moves differently from the headline S&P MidCap 400.

SPMD Mid caps swing harder than mega caps in both directions. Volatility is the softest of this fund's measured marks.
One slice only: US mid-cap equity. No large caps, no small caps, no bonds, nothing overseas.
Cash comes quarterly, not monthly.
