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

USSECSegall Bryant & Hamill Select 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.

USSE A boutique manager's high-conviction US large-cap picks, delivered in ETF form since 2023. Active stock selection measured against the Russell 1000, at 0.65% a year.

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.

USSE The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

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
  • USSE Genuinely active US large-cap equity with the Russell 1000 as its stated yardstick, so the lineup reflects a manager's judgment rather than an index rulebook.
  • No factor label, no thematic packaging. The stated mandate is plain: US stocks, long-term capital appreciation.
  • The 0.65% expense ratio sits near the middle of the active-equity pack rather than at the premium end.
  • A few-hundred-million-dollar fund, so a boutique strategy arrives with mainstream ETF plumbing: intraday trading and a standard 1940 Act structure.

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.
  • USSE Thinly traded next to the giant index funds, so bid-ask spreads and order handling carry more weight at the moment of execution.
  • It has not been paying distributions. The mandate is capital appreciation, so income is not part of the package.
  • Active pricing at 0.65% is a standing cost drag versus cheap index exposure to the same US large-cap universe, and the fund's record only starts in 2023.
