TACUAT. Rowe Price Active Core U.S. Equity ETF

TIMEDClockwise U.S. Core Equity ETF

In short

TACU T. Rowe Price's quant-plus-fundamental take on core large-cap U.S. stock, benchmarked to the Russell 1000. Gross fee 0.14%, fully waived to zero through January 30, 2027.

TIME A hand-run book of about 30 US stocks that can duck into cash, short-term Treasurys, inverse ETFs or covered calls when the manager wants less volatility. Active pricing: 0.96% net of a waiver through December 29, 2026.

Stated mandate

TACU The fund seeks long-term capital growth through a primarily U.S. equity portfolio. It combines quantitative models with fundamental, bottom-up analysis and seeks excess returns relative to the Russell 1000 Index.

TIME The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.

Why people hold it

  • TACU Fee fully waived: 0.14% gross, zero net through January 30, 2027. That sits below every top-scoring peer in the category, including DFAU at 0.12% with no waiver.troweprice.com
  • Quant models feed bottom-up stock picking with tilts to profitability, quality and value, chasing excess return over the Russell 1000 while holding tracking error tight.troweprice.com
  • Several hundred large-cap names, so no single position runs the show. One of the stronger profiles in a crowded active U.S. equity field.troweprice.com
  • TIME Concentrated on purpose: about 30 US names, so each pick carries real weight instead of being diluted across hundreds of positions.
  • Defensive levers stay on the table. Cash, short-term Treasurys, inverse ETFs and covered calls are part of the toolkit, which plain core equity funds rarely touch.tradingview.com
  • Live since January 2022, so there is a multi-year record of real money under one adviser, not a backtest.
  • The adviser is absorbing part of the cost: 0.96% net versus 1.02% gross, with that waiver running through December 29, 2026.

Worth knowing

  • TACU Launched in December 2025, so the live record is short and the risk read rests on limited history.
  • Still a small fund that trades lightly, which can mean wider spreads than the category's giants.
  • Distributions are annual at most, with no declared income target. This is a growth mandate, not a cash-flow one.
  • TIME Cost is the trade-off. 0.96% net of a waiver through December 29, 2026 (1.02% gross) is above the category median, next to systematic peers DFAU at 0.12% and AVLC at 0.15%.
  • A small fund that trades thinly: spreads can run wide and a sizable order can move the price on its own.
  • The mandate has moved. It launched in 2022 around 5G and innovation themes and was renamed to U.S. Core Equity at the end of 2025, so its history spans different strategies.tradingview.com
