The TGLR ETF is an active ETF that selects stocks from among US large caps by jointly reviewing dividend sustainability, cash flow improvement, financial health and relative valuation. It targets income and long-term capital growth, and it does not mechanically track a specific index.

It suits long-term investors who want US large-cap exposure that considers both dividend orientation and valuation, and who can accept the influence of management judgment rather than index tracking.

It is an ETF with an active (actively managed) approach, run by Wedbush Lafer Tengler.

The management team screens value stock candidates using dividend yield and price-to-relative-sales metrics, while also reviewing cash flow, earnings quality, capital allocation and financial risk. Publicly disclosed holdings include US large caps such as LRCX, AVGO, GS, WMT and RTX, so individual company results and sector trends can also affect performance.

• A selection approach that combines valuation and cash flow
• Portfolio built on management judgment rather than a specific index

Assets under management (AUM) are $34.8M, and the total expense ratio (Expense Ratio) is 0.85% per year.

Unlike index-replicating ETFs, the TGLR ETF reflects management judgment in stock selection and weighting, so it may follow a different path from its comparison benchmarks depending on market conditions.

Returns can vary with the trend in value and dividend-oriented stocks, earnings expectations for large caps, and the path of interest rates and the economy. An active selection strategy may have room to stand out when individual stocks are being re-rated, but it may also lag in markets led by growth stocks.

A strategy that targets both income and long-term capital growth can be a candidate for investors who value dividend sustainability, cash flow and valuation. However, given the characteristics of a micro-cap ETF, investors should check trading volume, bid-ask spreads, and the gap between market price and net asset value before placing an order.

The TGLR ETF is distinguished by an active approach that looks at value and dividend quality together, but it is also affected by management judgment and a relatively concentrated holdings structure.

The CGDV ETF listed in the table offers exposure to US dividend and value-oriented stocks, but its manager and selection criteria differ. The DFAT ETF can be compared as an approach that casts a wider net across value stocks, and the DFSV ETF has a small-cap value profile, so its company size exposure differs from the TGLR ETF. The FVD ETF offers a dividend-focused approach and the WTV ETF offers broad value stock exposure, so investors should check expense levels, management style, distribution tendencies and holdings composition together.

When evaluating the TGLR ETF, investors should confirm together whether the active selection criteria match their investment goals, whether they can tolerate volatility in the dividend history, and whether liquidity conditions are adequate when placing orders.

A stock market decline, weakness in the value style, or a dividend cut or suspension by holdings could negatively affect the TGLR ETF's performance and income characteristics. Under the trading conditions of a micro-cap ETF, investors should also consider that buy and sell prices may form at levels different from net asset value.

The TGLR ETF is an active US large-cap ETF that looks at cash flow, dividend sustainability and valuation together. Investors should make their decision within a long-term asset allocation after checking differences in expense ratio and management style versus index-tracking value ETFs, the irregularity of its distribution history, and the risks from individual stocks and market swings.
