BKLC: 0% Expense Ratio, Minor Disadvantages On Risk Front, Definitely Worth Shortlisting

BNY Mellon US Large Cap Core Equity ETF is a passively managed ETF tracking the Solactive GBS United States 500 Index TR since November 2023. BKLC's essential advantage is its 0% expense ratio. Although BKLC has outperformed a few S&P 500-tracking ETFs like IVV, SPY, VOO, and SPYM, there is something to dislike about its risk metrics, including the maximum drawdown.

BKLC: This Core Large Cap ETF Is Free, So Should You Buy?

BKLC tracks the Solactive GBS United States 500 Total Return Index, selecting the 500 largest U.S. companies by total market cap. Notably, its ER is 0.00%. BKLC has only minor composition differences with S&P 500 Index ETFs, with the most significant one being a 0.60% underweight in Berkshire Hathaway. Still, fund overlap is 96% by weight. As a result, BKLC is an excellent substitute for ETFs like SPY, IVV, VOO, and SPLG. However, given current economic uncertainty, my preference is stronger diversification and a cheaper valuation.
