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: 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.
ACVF: A Conservative Focus Fund That Performs Like The S&P 500
The American Conservative Values ETF aligns investments with conservative political views, focusing on large-cap U.S. companies that meet its criteria. ACVF's hands-on management avoids companies perceived as against conservative values, offering a unique option in today's politically charged environment. The fund's sector weightings lean heavily towards Information Technology, with notable underweight in Communication Services due to perceived "woke" content.
These ETFs let you invest based on political leanings — but taking a stance can be costly
‘There's no guarantee that any one of these funds will do well under a Democratic regime or a Republican regime,' one analyst notes.
