T. Rowe Price's TCAF ETF offers a low-fee, quality-focused alternative to S&P 500 indexing.

The T. Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Equity ETF (TCAF), launched in June 2023, has attracted over $5.5 billion by offering a concentrated portfolio of about 100 high-quality large-cap stocks with a low fee of 0.31%. While it slightly lags the S&P 500 in short-term returns, it aims to deliver competitive performance with less risk by focusing on growth at a reasonable price and avoiding overvalued stocks. Institutional investors have shown strong interest, viewing TCAF as a core complement to traditional index funds, especially for those seeking downside resilience amid current market conditions. This ETF suits investors willing to pay a modest premium for active management that emphasizes quality and value over chasing the biggest megacap winners.
