Designed to provide broad exposure to the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market, the JPMorgan BetaBuilders U.S. Mid Cap Equity ETF (BBMC) is a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on April 14, 2020.
The fund is sponsored by J.P. Morgan. It has amassed assets over $2.09 billion, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the Mid Cap Blend segment of the US equity market.
Why Mid Cap Blend
Mid cap companies, with market capitalization in the range of $2 billion and $10 billion, offer investors many things that small and large companies don’t, including less risk and higher growth opportunities. These types of companies, then, have a good balance of stability and growth potential.
Typically holding a combination of both growth and value stocks, blend ETFs also demonstrate qualities seen in value and growth investments.
Costs
When considering an ETF’s total return, expense ratios are an important factor, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts in the long term if all other factors remain equal.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.07%, making it one of the cheaper products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.13%.
Sector Exposure and Top Holdings
It is important to delve into an ETF’s holdings before investing despite the many upsides to these kinds of funds like diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation to the Industrials sector — about 20.9% of the portfolio. Information Technology and Financials round out the top three.
Looking at individual holdings, Sandisk Corp/de Common (SNDK) accounts for about 1.93% of total assets, followed by Ciena Corp Common Stock (CIEN) and Lumentum Holdings Inc (LITE).
The top 10 holdings account for about 8.76% of total assets under management.
Performance and Risk
BBMC seeks to match the performance of the MORNINGSTAR US MID CAP TGT MK EXP EXT ID before fees and expenses. The Morningstar US Mid Cap Target Market Exposure Extended Index is a free-float adjusted market-cap weighted index which consists of equity securities traded in the United States.
