The active ETF ecosystem has exploded in recent years. In fact, active ETFs have contributed over 80% of the new launches this year alone, and are picking up major flows relative to their AUM.
T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Equity ETF retains a 'hold' rating due to elevated valuations versus growth and lack of clear outperformance versus SPY. TCAF's active management shifted 40 positions in eight months, but sector reallocations and portfolio changes have not improved its relative valuation metrics against SPY. Despite a contrarian GARP approach and sector tilts—overweight Health Care and utilities—TCAF's factor mix and performance remain closely correlated to SPY.
A crypto fund and a technology fund posted the best September returns among T. Rowe Price ETFs.

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.
