The active ETF landscape has exploded in popularity over the recent years. The arrival of the 2019 ETF Rule has streamlined the launch process, enabling asset managers to bring innovative new strategies to market more efficiently.
T Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Equity ETF is managed actively, with its goal being "to provide long-term capital growth." I believe TCAF will likely trail IVV this year owing to mostly weaker growth and GARP characteristics of its portfolio, as well as larger exposure to low beta names. TCAF's past performance is unconvincing. Over July 2023–March 2026, it underperformed IVV by 3.18% in annualized return as it captured only 86.79% of its upside.
Active ETFs have made waves in recent years, already outpacing passive ETFs in several key metrics this year. With rapid launches and notable flows, active ETFs have become a bigger and bigger part of investors' portfolios.

The fund is designed for investors looking to allocate a portion of their portfolio to equity securities, with a particular focus on large U.S. companies. It operates with the flexibility to invest across various sectors but has shown a preference for information technology and healthcare sectors. This flexibility allows the fund to adapt to changing market conditions and to allocate its investments in a way that seeks to maximize returns. The fact that it is non-diversified means it might invest more heavily in fewer sectors or companies, potentially increasing risk and return.
The fund commits at least 80% of its assets to equity securities. This includes stocks across a range of market capitalizations, but with a notable concentration on large U.S. companies. This strategy is tailored towards investors seeking growth through equity investments in established markets.
While the fund can invest across various sectors, it has a historical tendency to focus investments on the information technology and healthcare sectors. This sector-specific investment strategy could appeal to those looking to capitalize on the growth potential in these industries.
