Insights
Eagle Capital's EAGL ETF celebrates strong first year with 13.4% return and asset growth to $2.3B, positioning as alternative to tech-heavy indices.
Eagle Capital's one-year ETF milestone reveals notable metrics worth unpacking. The EAGL ETF has delivered a
This concentrated ETF (holding just 20-35 stocks) represents a distinct approach in today's market environment. Eagle is strategically positioning their product as a diversification alternative to increasingly top-heavy market indices dominated by technology companies. Their messaging explicitly calls out that "today's indexes are crowded, concentrated, and expensive" – a timely marketing angle given current market composition.

From a business perspective, this ETF represents Eagle's strategic adaptation to industry trends. By offering their previously SMA-based strategy in a more accessible, tax-efficient wrapper, they've clearly found market resonance as evidenced by their substantial AUM growth. The firm's overall
Eagle's value-oriented approach focusing on "companies whose intrinsic values and growth prospects may be under-appreciated" suggests their portfolio likely differs significantly from major indices. However, without specific holdings disclosure, investors would need to research actual portfolio composition to understand true diversification benefits.
Since its March 2024 inception, EAGL has returned
EAGL is a concentrated, actively managed large-cap equity ETF that seeks to produce superior returns over market cycles by investing in companies whose intrinsic values and growth prospects may be under-appreciated. Eagle has invested using this philosophy and discipline since its founding in 1988, built on a foundation of fundamental research, a long-term time horizon, and selectivity that results in a concentrated portfolio of 20-35 stocks.
“I’m proud of our team at Eagle and grateful to our clients and partners for helping us reach this important one-year milestone,” said Michael Falcon, CEO of Eagle. “Our disciplined, long-term strategy is distinct from most managers, and it’s great that advisors and consultants now have an easy, tax-efficient way to access our capabilities,” he continued.
As stock indexes have recently become increasingly concentrated in the tech sector and a few large companies, many investment professionals are reassessing their
“Passive investing has been a game-changer for many, but today’s indexes are crowded, concentrated, and expensive” said John Galateria, Eagle’s Head of Client Team. “Given the current market volatility, valuations, and index composition, there are real opportunities to enhance diversification and returns with the right manager.”

The 1-year anniversary is significant and EAGL is continuing to gain recognition and add platform partners as a result.

The EAGL ETF, along with our core SMA and other offerings, is how we do that.”

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse corporate, economic or political occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities. Investing in ETFs involves risk, including potential loss of principal. American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) are subject to the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. In addition, investments in ADRs and GDRs may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market. Investments in emerging markets securities are considered speculative and subject to heightened risks in addition to the general risks of investing in foreign securities. Fund investments in foreign currencies and securities denominated in foreign currencies are subject to currency risk. The Fund is actively-managed and may not meet its investment objective based on Eagle’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. A new or smaller fund is subject to the risk that its performance may not represent how the fund is expected to or may perform in the long term. In addition, new funds have limited operating histories for investors to evaluate and new and smaller funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies. The Fund is an ETF, which is a fund that trades like other publicly-traded securities. ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to NAV. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market prices (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The Fund is not an index fund.
