ACVF: Why I'm Downgrading This Right-Leaning Conservative Values ETF

American Conservative Values ETF excludes many mega-cap companies like Apple, Amazon, and Alphabet, which its managers perceive as misaligned with conservative principles. Since my last review, I've noticed only very minor changes to the portfolio. Historical portfolio rates also indicate that for an actively managed fund, there's surprisingly little activity. I took a neutral position in my initial review of the ACVF ETF four months ago. However, I'm now convinced that ACVF overcharges investors with an excessive 0.75% expense ratio.

ACVF: A Conservative Focus Fund That Performs Like The S&P 500

ACVF: High Quality ETF Designed For Conservative Values Investors

ACVF is an actively managed large-cap blend ETF that specifically excludes companies deemed "hostile" to conservative values. The ETF has $101 million in assets and a 0.75% expense ratio. Key exclusions include Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Netflix. Even without these, ACVF has delivered solid returns since its inception. Despite these impressive results, my analysis reveals ACVF does not have an advantage over SPY fundamentally. Expect it to lag behind due to its high expense ratio.
